How to know if my shift cable lock plate has been replaced

Is there any way I can find out simply by looking if the shift cable lock plate on my new XTerra (new to me, manufacture red 8/99) has been replaced according to the recall issued in December of 2000? (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 00V288000)

Call your dealer with your VIN number. They can tell you if it falls with in the replacement numbers and they can tell if it has been replaced.
