NHTSA Campaign 13V616000
LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
Issued by Double R Trailer Mfg., Inc. · Reported Dec 12, 2013 · 528 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Double R Trailer Mfg., Inc. (Double R) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 utility trailers manufactured April 1, 2010, through December 6, 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 trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
Double R will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on February 7, 2014. Owners may contact Double R at 1-208-461-7544 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
