Covered Wagon Trailers Recalling Cargo Trailers Due to Door Lock Defect

Covered Wagon Trailers is recalling 2006-2013 cargo trailers because a door lock defect could jam the deadbolt, potentially trapping occupants inside.

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 vehicle.

Plain-English summary

Covered Wagon Trailers, LLC is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 cargo trailers manufactured between January 1, 2006, and April 25, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. The recall affects 288 units.

The defect involves the possibility of removing the key 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 leave a person inside the trailer locked in and unable to exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Covered Wagon will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall was expected to begin in January 2014. Owners may contact Covered Wagon at 1-229-423-4044 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
