2006 Space Craft Fifth Wheel Trailer recalls
Recall 13V-575: Latches/Locks/Linkages
Problem: Space Craft Mfg., Inc. (Space Craft) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 fifth wheel and travel 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.
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.
Fix: Space Craft will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on January 10, 2014. Owners may contact Space Craft Manufacturing at 1-660-463-7520 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
Recall 11V-052: Equipment
Problem: Space craft is recalling certain model year 2006 530 and v420 space craft recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Risk: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Fix: Space craft is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on may 16, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.

Risk: If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
Fix: Space craft is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (Please see 08e032).
