Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED TO STALL. MANAGED TO GET IT TO A PARKING LOT WHERE IT DIED OUT. THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY GOT A NEW ONE TO MOVE FROM THE PARKING LOT. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME FROM THE PARKING LOT ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY. IT STARTED TO GIVE OUT AND STALL AGAIN SO I PULLED OVER. POPPED THE HOOD OPEN AND THE ALTANATOR WAS SMOKING SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF. EVEN AFTER I TURNED IT OFF IT STILL SMOKED AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS CRACKLINGS LIKE A FIRE LUCKILY IT DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE. MY QUESTION IS IF THERE'S RECALLS ON 2011-2014 CHRYSLER 300 ALTANATORS WHY IS THERE NOT ONE ON MY CAR?
