Source: NHTSA recall 13V626000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by an NHTSA defect investigation.
The problem
CJay Trailers Inc. (CJay) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 CJ610, CJ612, CJ714, CJ716, CJ814, CJ816, CJ820, CJ823, and CJ824, model year 2007-2013 CJ510, model year 2008-2013 CJ813, model year 2010-2013 FX9-620 Combo and model year 2009-2013 CJ830 cargo trailers 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 trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
CJay will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began in February 2014. Owners may contact CJay Trailers at 1-306-694-0445 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. CJay's number for this recall is R-12-2013.
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.
