I found the following info through Carfax:

Recall date: Not reported
Units potentially affected: 49,397
NHTSA campaign number: 96V085000
Defective part or component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BATTERY:CABLE
Description: THERE IS THE POSSIBLILITY OF EXCESSIVE CHAFING OF THE INSULATION OF THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLES. THIS CONDITION CAN LEAD TO A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE VEHICLE. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE CABLE HARNESS AND, IF NECESSARY, CORRECT.

Considering that it says "if necessary" I would assume that it wasn't a mandatory recall and would be considered as mechanics did regular inspection maintenance
