What's wrong?
On the 2018-2019 Forest River Rockwood and Flagstaff recreational trailers, the bunk bed door latch holds the exterior bunk door closed while the trailer is being towed. The latch depends on its fasteners to stay tight against the trailer body, so the door stays secured through road vibration and normal movement.
On affected trailers, the manufacturing line used a fastener that was not sufficient for this job. The fastener can loosen or fail at the latch mounting point. Once that happens, the latch no longer holds the bunk bed door closed, and the door can open while the trailer is moving.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not given a dashboard light, noise, or other clear notice before the latch fasteners stop holding the door closed.
