So suddenly yesterday I could no longer open my passenger door from the outside. I took the outside handle off and found that the plastic ring broke, that pushes on the lever to activate the latch.
First of all, it seems idiotic to make a part like this out of plastic! But that aside, can I replace just the plastic part, or do I need to buy an entire outside handle? Attached thumbnail(s)

I've already removed, cleaned, and re-lubed the latch as I mentioned above. I don't think the issue the latch. It moves easily, and the door opens without issue from the inside.
The issue is the repro cam. It isn't strong enough to push the latch. Here's what happens when you try and open the door: Attached thumbnail(s)
