Arising Cargo Trailer Recall for Door Lock Jamming Hazard

Arising Industries is recalling 2008-2013 cargo trailers because a door lock defect may jam the deadbolt, trapping occupants inside.

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 risk of occupants being trapped inside the vehicle.

Plain-English summary

Arising Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 cargo trailers equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock. The recall involves 228 vehicles. The defect involves the possibility of removing the key from the lock in a way that potentially 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 locked in and unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Arising Industries will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on January 21, 2014. Owners may contact Arising at 1-912-375-6044 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
