Recall history
1 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
13V423000 · Latches/Locks/Linkages
Reported: 2013-09-13 (September 13, 2013)
Arising Industries, Inc. (Arising Industries) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 cargo trailers equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock. 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 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.
Remedy: Arising Industries will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on January 21, 2014. Owners may contact Arising at 1-912-375-6044 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
