Mirage Recall 13V578000: Latches/locks/linkages

NHTSA recall 13V578000 · announced November 20, 2013 · filed by Mirage Enterprises, Inc. · 268 units affected

The problem

Mirage Enterprises, Inc. (Mirage) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 cargo trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 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 the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

Mirage will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 13, 2013. Owners may contact Mirage at 1-208-461-7776 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
