Coose Trailer Manufacturing, Inc. recall 13V-424 covers 17 2006–2013 Coose Trailer Travel Trailer for a latches/locks/linkages problem, reported to NHTSA on September 13, 2013.
Source: NHTSA recall 13V424000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by an NHTSA defect investigation.
The problem
Coose Trailer Manufacturing, Inc. (Coose) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 travel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 2013 and equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
The risk
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.
The fix
Coose Trailer 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 Coose Trailer at 1-417-232-4420 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
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.
