Northwest Truck Camper Recall for Door Lock Jamming Hazard

Northwest Custom Campers is recalling 2006-2012 truck campers because a defect in Fastec door locks may 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, specifically the potential for occupants to be trapped inside the vehicle, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Northwest Custom Campers is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 truck campers 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 potentially jams the deadbolt.

If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. This could result in a person inside the camper being locked in and unable to exit the vehicle, which increases the risk of injury.

Northwest will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Northwest Custom Campers at 1-406-885-3662 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
