NHTSA's recall notice

As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 13V473000.

Defect description

Stealth Enterprises, LLC (Stealth Enterprises) is recalling certain model year 2009-2014 Steel Blackhawk, Aluminum Blackhawk, and Aluminum Predator cargo trailers and model year 2009-2014 Qualitec Aluminum Mountaineer, Aluminum Daytona and Steel Daytona cargo trailers manufactured October 6, 2008, through September 6, 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.

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

Stealth Enterprises will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on November 13, 2013. Owners may contact Stealth Enterprises at 1-574-848-5900 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
