Carfax reports are a joke. If the previous owner did the work themselves or used a servicing facility that didn't reported work done to the vehicle that work would never show up on any report. This was disclosed on a recent investigative report which showed vehicles that had a clean report by CarFax that were in fact unsafe or had been written off as totaled.
I found the VINs by Googling the recall notices which the mfr provided the numbers of the affected units. You'll have to dig, I'll see if I can find them again as I may have saved the link somewhere.
