EverGreen Recalls 2013 Travel Trailers Due to Door Lock Jamming Risk

EverGreen is recalling 2013 travel trailers because a door lock defect could jam the deadbolt, 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, fitting the High severity criteria for potential entrapment and injury.

Plain-English summary

EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013 Ever-Lite, Ever-Lite Select, i-Go, and Ascend travel trailers. These vehicles were manufactured between February 17, 2012, and October 30, 2012, and are equipped with Fastec-brand door locks.

The recall addresses a defect where it may be possible to remove 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 without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Owners will be notified by EverGreen. Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the lock cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on March 3, 2014. Owners may contact EverGreen at 1-574-825-4298 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
