Defect description

R&M Trailer Manufacturing Inc., (R&M Trailer) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 enclosed cargo trailers manufactured February 2012 through August 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 risk

If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

R&M Trailer will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin by mid-April 2014. Owners may contact R&M Trailer at 1-402-415-7530 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
