Consequence:

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

Correction:

Three feathers will notify owners, and fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. the recall began on march 31, 2014. owners may contact three feathers at 1-541-663-8163 or fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
