Latches/locks/linkagesRecall 13V-629 · Cm Trailers and S&h vehicles
Contract Manufacturer, LLC recall 13V-629 covers 444 Cm Trailers and S&h vehicles for a latches/locks/linkages problem, reported to NHTSA on December 18, 2013.
Source: NHTSA recall 13V629000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by an NHTSA defect investigation.
The problem
Contract Manufacturer, LLC (CM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 CM and S&H 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
CM will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on January 21, 2014. Owners may contact CM Trailers at 1-888-268-7577 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.
