2011 Craftsmen Custom Vehicle recalls

Recall 13V-443: Equipment

Reported Sep 18, 2013 · 79 vehicles affected · Craftsmen Industries, Inc.

Problem: Craftsmen Industries Incorporated (Craftsmen) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 custom vehicles manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 30, 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 vehicle 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: Craftsmen will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on November 22, 2013. Owners may contact Craftsmen at 1-800-373-3575 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
