Trailers USA Recalls 2013 Horse Trailers Due to Door Lock Jamming Risk

Trailers USA is recalling 2013 horse trailers 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

Trailers USA Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 horse trailers manufactured between October 2013 and April 2013. These vehicles are equipped with Fastec-brand door locks that may allow the key to be removed 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 horse trailer from exiting the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. No specific injuries or deaths have been reported in the source text.

Trailers USA Inc. will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the lock cylinders free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Trailers USA at 1-352-351-4019 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
