- LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
- Problem
- Carson Trailer, Inc. (Carson) is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Fun Runner trailers manufactured May 12, 2006, to June 7, 2012, and equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock. 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.
- Remedy
- Carson will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Carson at 1-310-516-6046 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.
What this recall means for you
A Fastec-brand door lock on certain Fun Runner trailers may jam when the key is removed in a particular way. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the lock may also jam, leaving a person inside the trailer unable to get out through the door and forcing them to use the emergency exit. That raises the risk of injury.
If you own an affected trailer, contact Carson Trailer at 1-310-516-6046 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Fastec will coordinate inspection and replacement of the lock cylinders as needed, free of charge. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your trailer is included.
