I sometimes smell gas after a short drive. Also the seat belt seems to hang on the drivers side at times. Another issue is the rear left wheel seems to be leaning and wearing with new tires. The car only has 93k miles and well maintained.

Do you drive a 1989 CHEVROLET CORVETTE?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
