They'll probably ask you why you waited 16 years to take your Jeep for the recall, and promptly tell you where to go.
What else would you expect?

I worked as a service advisor for Chrysler for a couple of years. Regardless of age, if a recall has not been performed, OR if the performed recall fails in any way, BY LAW, Chrysler is required to perform the recall. I can remember doing recalls on vehicles that were almost 20 years old. Call your local dealer, give them the last 8 digits of your VIN, ask them to check for open recalls. If there are any, they will gladly set you an appointment on the spot. While you are there, ask them to print you an options list. This list is free, and will tell you what options came from the factory.

That's comforting to know.

Thank YOU! This will be the first time my xj has been to a dealership since its original purchase.

You can do the same check at Jeeps website. Took me a min. to find it but its there. According to the website no recalls for my 90' Cherokee Laredo.
