Doubletree RV Recalls 2006-2013 Trailers Due to Door Lock Jamming Risk

Doubletree RV is recalling 2006-2013 recreational trailers because a defect in the door locks may jam the deadbolt, potentially 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, as the defect could trap occupants inside the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Plain-English summary

Doubletree RV is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Select Suite, Tradition, Mobile Suite, and Elite Suite recreational trailers manufactured between January 1, 2006, and April 25, 2013. The recall affects units equipped with Fastec-brand door locks.

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, preventing a person inside the travel trailer from exiting the vehicle without using the emergency exit. This situation increases the risk of injury.

Doubletree will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lock cylinders free of charge. The recall began on December 29, 2014. Owners may contact Fastec directly at www.fastecindustrial.com or by calling 1-800-837-2505, or contact Doubletree customer service at 1-260-562-1075. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
