How do I determine if my car is involved in this recall?

Does anyone know if this recall affects the rear window seal?

I have never left the car out in the rain for an extended period. Call me nuts.

I put the seat belt on and it was all wet. Even the portion of the belt that retracted into the rear panel. I looked around and saw water dripping into the seat belt retractor area.

Anyone else seen a leak from the rear seal?

Update

My car was not in the series of cars in this recall campaign however the dealer performed the campaign anyway since I was having the same issue that initiated the campaign.

Magically and thankfully my leak stopped and the heavy South Florida rains were a good test.
