Recall 13E052000: Latches/locks/linkages

NHTSA recall 13E052000 · announced September 26, 2013 · Eagan · 4,761 units affected

The problem

Eagan Manufacturing (Eagan) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 doors manufactured January 2006 through April 2013, and equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.

The risk

If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside a trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

Eagan will notify the manufacturers that purchased the affected doors from them, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the lock cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on October 31, 2013. Owners may contact Eagan at 1-870-878-6805 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
