## What is wrong

IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT OF ENTRANCE DOOR CAUSES LATCH TO      FAIL IN THE SECONDARY LATCHED POSITION.  SUCH FAILURE PLACES THE MOTORHOME IN    NONCOMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 206, DOOR LOCKS AND DOOR RETENTION.                                                                                                      CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IF PRIMARY DOOR LATCH FAILS TO MAINTAIN THE DOOR CLOSED,  THE FAILURE OF THE SECONDARY LATCH WILL ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN INADVERTENTLY     POSING SOME DANGER TO ITS OCCUPANTS.


## The remedy

PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS TO OWNERS FOR PROPER ADJUSTMENT AND IN   SOME CASES PROVIDE NEW LATCHES.


## Notes

SYSTEM: ENTRANCE DOOR/FMVSS 206.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORHOMES.
