Recall 13V-611: 2006–2013 Covered Wagon Trailers Cargo Trailers
Covered Wagon Trailers, LLC recall for latches/locks/linkages, reported to NHTSA on Dec 6, 2013, covering about 288 vehicles.
The problem
Covered Wagon Trailers, LLC (Covered Wagon) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 cargo trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 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.
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, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Covered Wagon will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in January 2014. Owners may contact Covered Wagon at 1-229-423-4044 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.
