We are recently aware of the july 3, 2019 nhtsa safety recall (campaign number: 19v512000) involving door latches on 2018-19 forza models.the problem of exterior storage compartment doors opening while driving also effects our 2016 itasca solei. The solei and forza at the time were essentially identical models built by winnebago.since purchase in 2015 we have had numerous instances of locked doors opening while moving. Several times motorists have alerted us to open doors as we travelled. The problem became less frequent as we gained proficiency with latch adjustments, but never the less continues. We don't trust the security of our door latches and out of necessity rely on bungee cords to retain contents in several compartments. *dt'parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

We were driving our 40 ft motorhome down highway 491 in new mexico at approximately 60 mph heading south toward shiprock, nm, when the electrically controlled day/night shade on the windshield came crashing down onto the dash, ripping electrical wiring totally out. Unit probably weighed 10 - 12 pounds. I struggled to maintain control of the vehicle due to the shock of the incident and to realize what had just happened. Entire shade system was now laying on dashboard. Fortunately i was not driving into the direction of the sun and no one was injured. However this incident is only one of several instances of items being detached while driving. Each incidence acts to divert the drivers attention from the road. *dt *dtconsumer stated dealer was contacted and they are replacing the shade.consumer stated attached are some photos of the shade after i drilled through the rail and the clips to reattached itbecause we were 2000 miles from home and no parts were available to replace the clips. Parts are only available from thor as an order through one of their dealers. Thor doesn't sell their parts to owners directly. I have included several pictures of the clips which failed. These clips are installed on theoverhead just rear of the windshield and they hold the rail which the shades are attached to. The rail is approximately 96 inches long and is made of extruded aluminum. End pieces are then attached to the raie at 90 degrees angle to hold the 2 shade rollers. Drive motors are inside rollers which move shades up/down.
