Sharp Recalls 2006-2013 Cargo Trailers Due to Door Lock Jamming Risk

Sharp Manufacturing is recalling 2006-2013 cargo trailers equipped with Fastec door locks that may jam, 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, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for potential entrapment and injury.

Plain-English summary

Sharp Manufacturing, LLC is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Sharp cargo trailers manufactured between January 1, 2006, and April 30, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. The recall affects 1,975 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 cargo trailer locked in and unable to exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Sharp Manufacturing will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on February 3, 2014. Owners may contact Sharp Manufacturing at 1-785-363-7336 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
