Jackson Mfg Recalls Travel Trailers With Potentially Jamming Door Locks

Jackson Mfg is recalling 2006-2013 travel trailers equipped with Fastec door locks that may jam, potentially trapping occupants inside the vehicle.

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, as the defect could trap occupants inside the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Plain-English summary

Jackson Mfg. Co., Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Jackson travel trailers manufactured between January 1, 2006, and April 25, 2013. The recall affects approximately 250 units equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock.

The defect involves the possibility of removing the key from the lock cylinder in a way that jams the deadbolt. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam, potentially locking a person inside the travel trailer. This condition increases the risk of injury because the occupant would be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit.

Jackson will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 6, 2013. Owners may contact Jackson at 1-405-224-6013 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.
