While traveling the outer skin of a lower compartment door folded off. This occurred in heavy traffic during a vicious windstorm. The repair costs just under $7000. During our first trip after the repair, the skin came off again-this time at a slow speed and with normal weather. On your website, there is a recall for the identical problem in the Thor line of motorcoaches but not the Tuscany. October 29, 2021, NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V845 which reads: "A door skin that separates during transit can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash." I am now looking at another replacement and have received an estimate of over $8000 (explained by inflation and shortage of repair technicians). Please consider extending this same recall for all models of these coaches as they are all produced at the same plant with the same doors by the same personnel. I called your office with this matter and was given an ODI# 11502280. Thank you.
