WHEN OPENING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT DOORS CONSUMER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SHUT THE DOORS. *AK

#10003269 | January 23, 2003

ON THE PASSENGER & DRIVERS SIDE DOORS THE SHEET METAL SURROUNDING THE BOTTOM HINGES IS CRACKING, WITH THE CRACKS BECONING INCREASINGLY WORSE WITH TIME. THE PASSENGER DOOR BEGAN TO OPEN ABOUT 3 MOS. AGO WITH THE SOUND LIKE THAT OF A COKE CAN BEING FOLDED MIDWAY ON THE CYLINDER, THEN BEING FOLDED BACK & FORTH. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTED A SMALL CRACK ON THE SHEET METAL THAT THE HINGE IS BOLTED TO. TODAY THE CRACK EXTENDS ABOVE & BELOW THE TOP & BOTTOM OF THE HINGE APPROX 1/2 INCH. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR STARTED MAKING THE "COKE-CAN" SOUND ROUGHLY A WEEK AGO; AND HAS A CRACK SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN THE HINGE IS HIGH. AFTER READING REPORTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THEIR HINGES DISCONNECT FROM THEIR CARAVANS DUE TO WHAT I REGARD AS AN APPARENT FATIGUE FAILURE, I AM CONCERNED.
