The federal safety agency safety recall compartment latches, not keeping doors closed when traveling. Fix is the replacement of the plastic latches with metal latches yet winnebago states they don't have any more metal latches. We are not using the 2019 forza rv at all because of the danger...the compartments have opened on hwy 80 nearly causing an accident. There are 766 forza motorhomes with this condition. Your the federal safety agency recall notice is: 19v 512. Correspondence with the dealer, la mesa rv and winnebago available upon request. Your action will be appreciated.
We purchased a 2019 forza in september of 2019. When traveling down the road on the highway, the propane door swung open. We brought it in and the dealership said they fixed (12/09/2019) it happened again... Slow speed. Next the compartment door carrying a lot of chairs etc and the propane door both opened on the highway at about 60 MPH. We were pulled over by the state police and told to go to the next rest area and fix it. We had to crawl under it and put a cable on it. Finally we had to duct tape the doors shut in order to feel safe. We have contacted winnebago and the dealership with detailed information. The dealer doesn't have a solution and won't help us. Winnebago is still looking at the information and hasn't gotten back to us.
Doors come open while driving bad latches exposing all products under the bus to fly out and hit other vehicles while traveling, does not happen when the vehicle is stationary. Door for entry is wobbly, though this door does not come open it is not well attached.
Tl* the contact owns 2019 winnebago forza. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the storage area door became unlatched. The rv was taken to south haven rv & marine located at (5485 pepper chase dr, southaven, ms 38671 662‑393‑9948) where the rv was repaired under the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v512000 (structure) however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,800.
In four of the five times I have driven this motorhome, while on the highway, one of the side compartment doors will open, without notice. I'm often flagged by other drivers letting me know that the compartment door is open. Lucky that there has been an accident. I'm concerned to drive it.
