Bay Bridge Manufacturing Recalls Cargo Vans and Trailers with Jamming Door Locks

Bay Bridge Manufacturing is recalling 2006-2013 cargo vans and trailers equipped with Fastec door locks that may jam, 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.

Plain-English summary

Bay Bridge Manufacturing LLC is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 cargo box vans and trailers manufactured between January 1, 2006, and July 31, 2013. The affected vehicles are equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. The recall covers 223 units, including FRP Units, Classic Units, Sheet and Post Units, and Sheet & Post Unit Trailers.

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 travel trailer locked in and unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Bay Bridge will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began in March 2014. Owners may contact Bay Bridge at 1-578-848-7477 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
