Plain-English summary

Double R Trailer Mfg., Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 utility trailers manufactured between April 1, 2010, and December 6, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. The recall affects 528 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 prevent a person inside the trailer from exiting the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Double R will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on February 7, 2014. Owners may contact Double R at 1-208-461-7544 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
