Campaign:

14V050000 on 02/10/2014

Component:

Latches/locks/linkages

Manufactured:

09/30/2013 - 04/29/2013

Affected:

30

Defect:

Trailers usa inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 horse trailers manufactured october 2013 through april 2013 and equipped with fastec-brand door locks. it may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.

Consequence:

If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. a person inside the horse trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Correction:

Trailers usa inc. will notify owners, and fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. the manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. owners may contact trailers usa at 1-352-351-4019 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.
