Recall 13V-509: 2010–2014 Back Country Travel Trailer, 2014 Black Rock Travel Trailer and 4 more
Outdoors RV Manufacturing recall for latches/locks/linkages, reported to NHTSA on Oct 17, 2013, covering about 7,343 vehicles.
The problem
Outdoors RV Manufacturing (Outdoors RV) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 Wind River, Timber Ridge and Back Country, model year 2010-2012 Tamarack Trails, model year 2012-2014 Black Stone and model year 2014 Black Rock travel trailers 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.
The risk
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.
The fix
Outdoors RV will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2013. Owners may contact Outdoors RV at 1-724-423-7440 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
