Lakota Recalls 2007 Travel Trailers Due to Door Lock Jamming Risk

Lakota is recalling two 2007 travel trailer models because a door lock defect may jam the deadbolt, potentially trapping occupants inside the vehicle.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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.

Plain-English summary

Lakota Corporation is recalling one model year 2007 4HSLGN6 and one model year 2007 3HSLBP travel trailer. These vehicles are equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock that may allow the key to be removed in a way that jams the deadbolt.

If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. This could leave a person inside the travel trailer unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Lakota will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on October 31, 2013. Owners may contact Lakota at 1-574-848-1636 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Lakota's recall number is EQ 13-006.
