This happened about a month ago on my 2015 Miramar. Lucky for me it broke as I tried to lock the door from outside. So I was not locked out of the coach.
It was easy to remove the entire lock/handle unit. I did a google search and found the replacement part. However, the part had been modified since my original part was made. A movement that rotates with the locking of the bolt was a complete circle and the original was not. And it just didn't' fit the small area allowed between the mechanism and the door jamb. Lucky I have a friend that works with mettle and he filed the wheel to fit. Newer piece was not pot mettle as the original.
So its not hard to replace just be aware the new piece may not be exact as the original as I found. And it isn't $$$
