Wayne M: If your 39W is on a FCCC chassis, that explains why you didn't get the notice when issued by WCC. I'm guessing you "notification" from GS was based on your coach, and apparently GS does not know it was offered on both WCC and FCCC chassis.

The fuel tank recall has been extensively discussed over in the Workhorse forum here on iRV2.com.
