Issue

Certain motorhomes may have been manufactured with a refrigerator equipped with a travel latch that could inadvertently activated without the users knowledge. If the latch accidently locked the door shut, there would be no means to open it from the inside which could potentially cause entrapment and/or injury to an individual. Correction: Dealers will install a new door latch that cannot be inadvertently locked and can only be activated from the exterior of the refrigerator after the door is closed.
