This vehicle was totaled in april 2015 in virginia and is no longer in mine. I have reached out to ford motors with this information and they say i'm the registered owner. There is nothing they can do. Now the florida highway safety & motor vehicles is contacting me about not completing the recall. There is no way that can be done for a vehicle that doesn't exist.
