Front Suspension Lower Control Arm Problems of Dodge Grand Caravan

Went to dealer to have the brakes fixed and mechanic told me there was a problem with the lower control arm pivot bolt, and if I didn't have it fixed I could lose control of the vehicle. He said it was a major safety issue. This affected the entire engine cradle. I was told there was a recall for this on the 2001 model. But this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. After contacting daimer Chrysler told me the same thing ,and said there was nothing they would do about it and suggested I should hold on to my receipt because one never knows when there may be a recall in the future? they referred me to jonathan sanders, senior staff of global relations and he said there is nothing daimer Chrysler would do because my vehicle wasn't in the recall even though my vehicle is a 2001 and is experiencing the same problem as the other vehicles that were recalled. I of course am having the mechanic fix the vehicle for obvious safety reasons.

Lower control arm on my 2000 Grand Caravan snapped off at 25mph. As a result of the broken bolt, the car came to a screeching halt in the middle of the road and the left front tire was at a 90 degree angle. I am in the stress testing business and I had the bolt visually analyzed by my engineers. They conclude the bolt had considerable fatigue. I am very concerned about this defect. I would have been killed if I was going faster. I have a meeting with Chrysler on Monday to discuss this situation and my options. I am very confused about what I should do and what my rights are. Can the NHTSA help me?.
