| Why doesn't fleetwood safety recall # 06004 show up in the nhtsa databse. isn't it the same kwikee step & similar wiring problem as fleetwood's recall # 60220 for similar vehicles. while this recall is called an upgrade noting that the wire is not intended to carry this amount of electrical energy & may burn through and melt , #60220 regards this as a safety hazard. | |||
