Recall 13V-513: Latches/Locks/Linkages

Reported Oct 17, 2013 · 10 vehicles affected · Outlaw Conversions

Problem: Outlaw Conversions (Outlaw) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Hart, 4-Star, and Platinum gooseneck horse trailers with living quarters 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 without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Fix: Outlaw will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The owners could not be loacated for this recall Owners may contact Outlaw at 1-254-968-5733 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
