| Description of the problem | This vehicle is an rv. The latch to the only regular exit door is attached by a very small piece of cast metal. The spring is quite strong and while opening the exit door, the handle broke off. This made exit from the door impossible. The only exit was out the rear window. The vehicle was stationary at the time and i am flexible enough to climb through the window, so this was not a huge issue. Had there been an issue to the rear of the vehicle however, a window would have had to be smashed to exit. |
