Cargo latch won't open

I know this is an old thread but I think there may be another bad batch of slam latches. I read the post showing the pivot screw backing out and the door not opening, that's what happened to mine. It's a 2019 Thor. I saw all of tthe suggestions on how to get door opened none sounded good ,I had no access from side or pass thru so I opened the door on hing side of stuck door, used a 1/4 in drive with 3 inch extension loosened top hinge bolt nut,then removed the nut from bottom hinge bolt I left the prop shock on bottom of door on. Knock bottom bolt out, door will pull down and out from latch. Then I put bottom bolt back in,tightened both hinge bolts. Then removed 4 phillips head screws from backside of latch. Remove phillips head screw blue lock tight,reassemble. I now put lock tight on all my latches found 3 more with screws backing out. They all had lock washers but don't want to chance it. Hope this helps someone,when the door wouldn't open I thought it was going to be bad. PS I called Thor they sent me a new latch got it in 2 days.
