Potentially affected: 4,295 vehicles
Owners notified November 18, 2013 · Vehicles built January 1, 2008 – April 25, 2013 (per NHTSA) · Recall influenced by NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation
Defect description

Safety consequence
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.
Manufacturer remedy
ATC will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2013. Owners may contact ATC at 1-574-773-2440 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
