Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Carry-On Trailer Corp. is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 enclosed cargo trailers manufactured between January 1, 2006, and April 25, 2013. The recall affects trailers equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. The defect involves the possibility of removing the key from the lock in a manner 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, which increases the risk of injury. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, though the agency metadata indicates 1,315 vehicles are affected.

Carry-On will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 18, 2013. Owners may contact Carry-On at 1-706-356-5379 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.
