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 trailer, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Bloomer Trailers is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Evolution recreational trailers manufactured between January 1, 2006, and April 25, 2013. The recall affects vehicles equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. A total of 154 vehicles are affected by this safety recall.

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 trailer locked in and unable to exit without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Bloomer Trailers will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Bloomer Trailers at 1-800-390-6377 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.
