Interior Side Door Lock May Become Inoperable
Description
Augusta RV, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 FLEX recreational vehicles manufactured February 13, 2013, through May 31, 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.
Injuries / 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.
Remedy
Augusta RV 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 early November, 2013. Owners may contact Augusta RV at 1-574-848-0200 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
