I am writing in reference to a recall notice I received on october 11, 2005 regarding a possible driveline parking brake anchor bolt fracture on my F-650 ford truck. I purchased this truck from hubco ford in allentown pa. it has since come to my attention that hubco ford, where I purchased this vehicle, has closed its doors and no longer can service this vehicle. not only was I never notified of the closure, but also, the closest service center that can handle this size truck, IS located in another state. this repair may only require less than half a day to fix, but it IS going to take at least that long or better getting the truck there and back. this has created a hardship in trying to get this vehicle repaired. I believe that it IS ford''s responsibility to notify customers when a dealership has closed its'' doors and there IS no one else within a 100 mile range that not only can''t repair this vehicle, but there are no dealership to handle possible future purchases of a vehicle like this. it IS my belief that I am not the only person from this area that IS now faced with this problem. I sincerely think that ford corporation needs to consider its customers needs and provide for an alternative method of repairing this vehicle, without creating such hardship on the customer. *jb
