Official recalls

13V490000 · Latches/locks/linkages

Oct 17, 2013

KZRV, L.P. is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 towable 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.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: 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.

Remedy: KZRV, L.P. will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on January 31, 2014. Owners may contact KZRV L.P. at 1-260-768-4016 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
