Four Wheel & Six-Pac is recalling 2006-2013 truck campers 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, fitting the High severity criteria for potential entrapment and injury.

Plain-English summary

Four Wheel & Six-Pac Campers, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 truck campers manufactured between January 1, 2006, and April 30, 2013. These vehicles are equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. The recall affects 2,453 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 truck camper locked in and unable to exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Four Wheel & Six-Pac will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on March 10, 2014. Owners may contact Four Wheel & Six-Pac at 1-530-666-1442 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
