Passenger door handle (exterior) coming apart - any tips?

Something strange has happened to my passenger side door handle a few weeks ago - the "thumb" portion (where the key could go, if our passenger side doors were keyed) began to separate from the assembly:



The whole thing is holding together alright, but it all seems very fragile... I would like to fix this, but I am not really sure where to start.

Is this common? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I would appreciate any tips or suggestions for the necessary repair!

Thanks for the reply!

Is that part sold all by its lonesome, or is it part of an assembly?
How big of a PITA will it be to perform the repair?
I'm sure the interior door panel will need to be removed to get at the lock - what else will be involved?
