Consequence:

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.

Correction:

Open range will notify owners, and fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. the recall began on january 15, 2014. owners may contact open range at 1-260-768-7771 or fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

Notes:

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
