NHTSA recall 14V003000
Latches/Locks/Linkages · Evergreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with fastec-brand door locks. In the affected trailers, it may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
Why it matters: 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.
The fix: Evergreen will notify owners, and fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on March 3, 2014.
