Plain-English summary

HL Enterprise, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Hy-Line, Bridgeview, Georgian Bay, and Harbor View travel, fifth-wheel, and destination trailers. The affected units were manufactured between January 2011 and April 2013 and are equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. A total of 716 vehicles are included in this recall.

The defect involves the door lock mechanism, where it may be possible to remove the key in a way that 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, increasing the risk of injury.

HL Enterprise 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, and was expected to begin by mid-January 2014. Owners may contact HL Enterprise at 1-574-294-1112 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
