NHTSA Campaign 18E062000

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER

Issued by PTL Engineering, Inc · Reported Jul 27, 2018 · 442 vehicles affected

What's wrong

PTL Engineering, Inc. (PTL) is recalling certain 3000 and 7000 Series recreational vehicle Entry Doors, part Numbers 009-227 and 019-064. The latch rod may be improperly adjusted, allowing the door to open unexpectedly while the vehicle is moving. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."

Consequence

If the door opens while moving, it could become a distraction to the vehicle operator and other drivers and/or objects may fall out and become road hazards. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy

PTL will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the doors and dealers for those manufacturers will readjust the latch rod, free of charge. The recall began August 8, 2018. Owners may contact PTL customer service at 1-810-664-2310.
