##RVT1098b
Wonder if the recall ‘door latches’ are TriMark which have easily breakable soft potmetal (Not strong iron) latches. They are/were used in Thor RVs (and others) for years and are a definite threat to life and health/safety. Once the metal latch inside the lock breaks you have to nearly bust up your RV door to get it to open from inside or outside! I have reported this happening to us to NHTSA and suggest all others do the same. Just like this recall-action (eventually) happens-hopefully before someone gets hurt or dies (like getting an elderly or very young human stuck inside a burning RV when the latch breaks and the door does not open)?!
