The contact owns a 2017 Ford F53 Winnebago RV. The contact stated that the front hood latch had detached, but the secondary hood latch was operational, securely keeping the hood closed. The hood was previously glued, but the failure recurred. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was contacted and declined to repair the vehicle due to concerns of not being reimbursed for the repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to another dealer; however, the other dealer was very far away. The failure mileage was approximately 13,600.
