I would like to be able to check the production number myself. What production numbers are to be replaced? Where is the PCM located on the vehicle?

Do you drive a 2007 PONTIAC VIBE?

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.
