It depends on what part broke the threaded rod on mine broke and I took it in for the recall but the only thing it covered was the 2 end swivile heads.

On our 94 we used wire and zip ties for a while. Called to see how much it was for everything and the dealer said the cable and all the fixin's were recall items.
