THE HEAD LIGHTS ON MY 1994 F600 STOPPED WORKING. THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. FORD SAYS THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. THE ONLY THING THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT IF IT WAS FOR MY VEHICLE THE COMPUTER WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM. THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHY MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED BECAUSE THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PUT ON THEIR COMPUTERS FOR VEHICLE FROM 1994 IS NOT DETAILED. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT VEHICLES WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. *TR
