Latches/locks/linkagesRecall 13V-490 · 2006–2013 Kzrv Towable Travel Trailer
KZRV, L.P. recall 13V-490 covers 41,415 2006–2013 Kzrv Towable Travel Trailer for a latches/locks/linkages problem, reported to NHTSA on October 17, 2013.
Source: NHTSA recall 13V490000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by an NHTSA defect investigation.
The problem
KZRV, L.P. is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 towable travel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 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.
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
KZRV, L.P. will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on January 31, 2014. Owners may contact KZRV L.P. at 1-260-768-4016 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.
