Default factory recalls

i just got my 1998 gs300 , not too long ago and was wondering about some of the recalls. can i still to this day go in and have them check to see if those have been done or not. and if it hasn't can they still do it free of charge?

I believe you can check with your local Lexus dealership and they'll just run your vin, if there was a recall and it hasn't been fixed I think they'll still do it for free. They had a recall on the catalytic converters for Toyota Land Cruisers way before I even bought my truck, I got it checked and they replaced the part for free.
