Latches/locks/linkagesRecall 13V-499 · Neo Trailers vehicles
Neo Manufacturing Inc. LLC recall 13V-499 covers 434 Neo Trailers vehicles for a latches/locks/linkages problem, reported to NHTSA on October 23, 2013.
Source: NHTSA recall 13V499000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by an NHTSA defect investigation.
The problem
Neo Manufacturing Inc. LLC (Neo) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 cargo trailers manufactured February 22, 2010, through May 1, 2011 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, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Neo will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2013. Owners may contact Neo at 1-269-503-7630 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.
