Hi, I lost my jack this past Saturaday by taking off in haste after installing a spare (Argh!). As it happens I have to take the car on a road trip this coming weekend and really don't want to do it without the jack. Buying one from the dealer is my last resort, in the meantime I would like to try eBay and junk yards. What I would like to find out from the collective wisdom of this forum is the information about the jack recall. I have heard or read that there has been a jack recall on jacks for 850 models. Does anyone know what the differences were between the "bad" one and the "good" one? Can I recognize these differences by looking or some nomenclature? If anyone with any info (or a spare jack for sale) about this issue could respond, I would appreciate it very much.

TIA.

P.S. My car is a 1998 S70

The jack in our 95 855 was recalled. That is the only year I can
remember having this recall (but I'm not certain). I don't have the
old one so I can't say what is different (nothing obvoius since it
pretty much looks like the one in my 98 S70).
