Default Looking for A/C recalls

After reading many other post here on DF about AC's not working, I tried finding info on AC line recalls.
I did find info on the warranty extension for my 06 caravan evaporator, but nothing on the lines.
Is there a way, other than the dealer, to know what is covered or recalled for AC items on my van (before I go to the dealer)

It's an 06 grand with rear air & sto&go seats

There are no recalls on the '06. Just the warrenty extension on the rear evaperator. The extension is for '06 and '07, in '05 the underbody lines were recalled for cold weather states.

Thanks Tizzy1
I'm trying to arm myself with as much info as I can before I go to the dealer.
Also, is there a way to override the low pressure switch to force the compressor to come on?

I know back in the day, when I worked on cars for a living, you could just jump the two wire plug.
Mine has 3 wire, so I don't dare to guess

Actually it is a high pressure sensor and no, there is no way to jump it. It senses pressure in the system so it knows if it is ok to turn on the compressor, when to turn on the fans, etc. If the system is low on freon, you don't want the compressor to run anyway, they don't get enough oil and it causes them to fail internally.
