Front Axle I-Beam Recall?

[vicsryd]

Just saw info on FCOC forum citing someone with a '06 Winnebago Tour who received a recall letter (FL467 A-F) for front axle I-beam issue. Anyone here receive the letter yet and if so, what type of rig do you have is your build date for your chassis (not model year)?

I just checked the s/n for my '05 Journey in Service Pro on Access Freightliner and there are no new campaigns/recalls listed.
