Outdoors RV Recalls Travel Trailers Due to Door Lock Jamming Risk

Outdoors RV is recalling specific travel trailers because a defect in the door lock may jam the deadbolt, 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

Outdoors RV Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 Wind River, Timber Ridge, and Back Country travel trailers, model year 2010-2012 Tamarack Trails, model year 2012-2014 Black Stone, and model year 2014 Black Rock travel trailers. The recall involves units equipped with Fastec-brand door locks.

The defect may allow the key to be removed from the lock in a way that jams the deadbolt. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. This could lock a person inside the travel trailer, preventing them from exiting without using the emergency exit, which increases the risk of injury.

Outdoors RV will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2013. Owners may contact Outdoors RV at 1-724-423-7440 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
