2012 Skyline Nomad recalls
Recall 13V-652: Latches/Locks/Linkages
Problem: Skyline Corporation (Skyline) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 recreational vehicle travel trailers and fifth-wheel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through May, 31, 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.
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.
Fix: Skyline will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on April 7, 2014. Owners may contact Skyline at 1-800-755-6521 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

Risk: With contaminated brakes, the vehicle may fail to stop properly, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury without warning.
Fix: Lippert components will perform the required inspection and make any necessary corrections free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during july 2011. Owners may contact lippert at 1-866-524-7821 or skyline at 1-800-348-7469.
