Cimarron Recall 13V418000: Latches/locks/linkages
NHTSA recall 13V418000 · announced September 12, 2013 · filed by Cimarron Trailers, Inc. · 1,584 units affected
The problem
Cimarron Trailers (Cimarron) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 NS, LS, SS, and SW livestock trailers, manufactured January 2006, through September 2012 and equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock. 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 the travel 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
Cimarron will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on November 14, 2013. Owners may contact Cimarron at 1-405-222-4800 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
