What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, specifically the potential for occupants to be trapped inside the vehicle, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Lippert Components, Inc. is recalling certain 2006-2013 travel trailer doors equipped with Fastec-brand deadbolt cylinders. These doors were manufactured between January 1, 2006, and April 25, 2013. The recall affects approximately 528,228 units.

The defect involves the possibility of removing the key from the lock in a way that jams the deadbolt. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. This could lock a person inside the travel trailer, preventing them from exiting without using the emergency exit, which increases the risk of injury.

Lippert will notify the companies that purchased the affected doors, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders free of charge. Owners may contact Lippert Customer Service at 1-574-537-8900 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
