| I received a recall notice in 9/07 from the ford company concerning my 2003 motorhome. it involved the speed control deactivation switch, which they said was defective. when i contacted a local ford dealer as instructed by the letter, i was told the repair had to wait till the parts arrived in december. when i called the dealer lst week, i was told the parts wouldn't arrive until at least february. i called the ford toll-free number and was told the same thing. why are they dragging their feet on this? why does it take so long to get the parts? *tr | |||
