Sharp Recall 13V648000: Latches/locks/linkages

NHTSA recall 13V648000 · announced December 16, 2013 · filed by Sharp Manufacturing, Llc · 1,975 units affected

The problem

Sharp Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 cargo trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 30, 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 cargo trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

Sharp Manufacturing will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on February 3, 2014. Owners may contact Sharp Manufacturing at 1-785-363-7336 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
