NHTSA recall 13E067000 · Equipment
Latches/locks/linkages
The defect
Lippert Components, Inc. (Lippert) is recalling certain 2006-2013 doors equipped with Fastec-brand deadbolt cylinders manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 2013 for use in travel trailers. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
The risk
If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Lippert will notify the companies that purchased the affected doors, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. Owners may contact Lippert Customer Service at 1-574-537-8900 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
