NHTSA #14V016000 · Latches/Locks/Linkages · NHTSA notice

Reported January 27, 2014 · Winnebago of Indiana, LLC

Potentially affected: 5,839 vehicles

Winnebago campaign LOC12414 · Owners notified February 28, 2014 · Vehicles built January 13, 2011 – September 30, 2013 (per NHTSA) · Recall influenced by NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation

Defect description

Winnebago of Indiana, LLC (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Sunnybrook Bristol Bay, Brookside, Edgewater, Harmony, Raven, Remington, Sunset Creek, and Titan, model year 2012-2013 Winnebago Lite Five and ONE, and model year 2013-2014 Winnebago Ultralite and Minnie trailers and fifth wheels, 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

Winnebago will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Winnebago at 1-574-825-5250 ,or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. Winnebago's number for this recall is LOC12414.

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.
