NHTSA Recall 13V409000
Filed by Jackson Mfg. Co., Inc.. Component: Latches/Locks/Linkages. Reported 2013-09-06. An estimated 250 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
Jackson Mfg. Inc. (Jackson) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Jackson travel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 2013 and equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock cylinder 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.
What the manufacturer will do
Jackson will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 6, 2013. Owners may contact Jackson at 1-405-224-6013 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
