Spare tire carrier latch broke :(

Spare tire carrier latch broke :(
The metal part that locks it into place snapped off and my spare tire swung out to the side while i was on the freeway. Pretty scary experience.
Anyone know where i can get a new latch assembly? i have no idea why it broke, but it snapped in half. I have some rope holding the carrier closed for now, but i need a more permanent fix.
Any help?

Did you get anyone’s answer to this? Although we have a pin- the cable is worn and won’t be enough...

Thanks! I tried the liquid wrench but it didn’t work for me. Our late is there-but isn’t working at all. We have the cable/pin but I don’t feel it is enough to take a road trip with. ANyone know where we can get a new latch and replace it ourselves?

I was also told to loosen all the bolts and place the carrier in the latch in the latched position and then retighten, this is an attempt to re-align the latch, incase the striker is not hitting properly.
