This is a ridiculous problem and will probably have serious consequences someday. I sent a complaint to DOT, but never heard back. Maybe if more folks submitted complaints something might be resolved.

We DID replace with the STEEL version. Thought we were "safe"... Then, when camping last week, a plastic piece broke and luckily there was one of us in the coach and one of us outside so we could force the door open. But, since we were afraid the lock would trap us both outside, we used the dead bolt and drove home...
Put the old zinc version back in and ordered another STEEL version. TRIMARK said the one that broke was the "best" they had...
So this time I will put the old lock in storage as a backup to save having to drive home....
