Summary
PTL Engineering, Inc. (PTL) is recalling certain 3000 and 7000 Series recreational vehicle Entry Doors, part Numbers 009-227 and 019-064. The latch rod may be improperly adjusted, allowing the door to open unexpectedly while the vehicle is moving.

Remedy
PTL will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the doors and dealers for those manufacturers will readjust the latch rod, free of charge. The recall began August 8, 2018. Owners may contact PTL customer service at 1-810-664-2310.
