SPARE TIRE RACK PULLED COMPLETELY OUT OF BACK OF MOTOR HOME. IF MY TRAILER HITCH HAD NOT BEEN ON THE MOTOR HOME IT WOULD HAVE BROKEN OFF IN THE PATH OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. HAD BEEN A RECALL, CARRIED TO DEALER, DEALER SAID THEY WOULD FIX. FLEETWOOD SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE SPARE TIRE RACK BUT NOT THE OTHER DAMAGE. DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T PUT IT ON THE MOTOR HOME. CONCERN ABOUT THE OTHER MOTOR HOMES THAT HAVN'T BEEN REPAIR. THE OTHER DAMAGE IS TO THE COVER THAT HAS A AIR-BRUSH PAINTING THAT I HAD DONE.
