I RECEIVED A "FLEETWOOD OWNERS RECALL #90209 FROM FLEETWOOD, POB 1007, DECATUR, INDIANA. I CALLED TODAY AT 800-509-3418 TO OBTAIN APPROVAL FOR REPAIR AT A FACILITY. I WAS INFORMED BY NEIL AT THAT PHONE THAT "DUE TO THE FLEETWOOD BANKRUPTCY THE NEW OWNERS WILL NOT HONOR ANY SAFETY RECALLS AND I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU OBTAIN AND PAY FOR THIS SERVICE YOURSELF."
