Vehicle does not start when hot. Starter does not turn. Vehicle was never recalled for NHTSA campaign id: 98V016000. My car has a production date of 7/97. Cut off date for this campaign was 6/97. I believe my vehicle should have been recalled for the repair of the magnetic switch in the starter. A no start condition exists and a fire can result if the solenoid shorts out. This is a safety issue and needs to be addressed.
