Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There is a recall for this problem (fl254abcde) that i feel is an insufficient fix. the repair consists of added braces at trailing end of the steps but does not address the center section. our failures have been in the center and the repair does not help that in my opinion. i feel the steps need to be of a heavier guage material or additional braces used.. *ak
