Problems with 2000 Chevrolet Corvette STEERING

The steering column of my car locked and i had to tow the car to the nearest dealership. i know there was a recall for this problem in 2004. the recall was never fixed on my car. the dealership claims that there a 0 open recalls on my car and wants to charge me $1500 for the repair. i am the first and only owner of the car and am very sure that the recall was not fixed because i've never taken the car to any dealership for any reason. i asked for records of the repair and was told that they don't have records. please help!!!!!
