Plain-English summary

Stealth Enterprises, LLC is recalling certain model year 2009-2014 Steel Blackhawk, Aluminum Blackhawk, and Aluminum Predator cargo trailers, as well as model year 2009-2014 Qualitec Aluminum Mountaineer, Aluminum Daytona, and Steel Daytona cargo trailers. These vehicles were manufactured between October 6, 2008, and September 6, 2013, and are equipped with Fastec-brand door locks.

The recall addresses a defect where it may be possible to remove 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 result in a person inside the travel trailer being locked in and unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, which increases the risk of injury.

Stealth Enterprises will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on November 13, 2013. Owners may contact Stealth Enterprises at 1-574-848-5900 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
