Old re-calls

Recently purchased a 1999 GT, 3800 motor, 114,000 miles from a used car dealer.
While me and a friend were installing some stereo stuff, he noticed that it didn't look like the one recall under engine and engine coolong descibed here, http://www.cars.com/go/recalls/rclMa...=&fill=results (http://www.cars.com/go/recalls/rclMain.jsp?year=1999&mkid=40&mdid=379&mkname=Pontiac&mdname=Grand+Prix&pt=&fill=results) about the wire harness had been done on my car.
How would I go about finding out if ANY of the recall work had ever been done on my car now? I read about a 10 year limit of free work for recalls, but seems like this one didn't have a time limit, if I remember right? How about any of the others?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Go to any gm dealer and ask them to look up recalls for your Vin #.
Then ask them to register you and your address to that VIN # so any future recalls will come to you and not any former owner.

That tells me how to get future recalls, which by now I would hope there wouldn't be any.
Would registering show those facts?
Thanks :)

Like Pfofit said, go to ANY GM dealer, and all they need is the Last 8 of your VIN#, and they can look to see if there are any "open" campaigns on your vehicle.....

Thanks.
That's the DEFINITIVE answer I was looking for.
