Service bulletin HTB 2018-07-18
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
This technical bulletin is a suggested door latch and door latch cable change for the side entry door on all Horton vehicles built between February 2016 to May 2018 that use TriMark paddle style door handles. During testing it was noted that the latch design for the side entry door latch could add a small amount of side loading to the door cable at the door latch connection point if the door latches are loose or out of adjustment, creating the possibility of premature door cable failure.
