Riverside Travel Trailer, Inc. recall 13V-646 covers 986 2006–2014 Riverside Travel Trailer for a latches/locks/linkages problem, reported to NHTSA on December 20, 2013.
Source: NHTSA recall 13V646000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by an NHTSA defect investigation.
The problem
Riverside Travel Trailer, Inc. (Riverside) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 travel trailers manufactured January 1, 2010, through April 30, 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
Riverside will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on January 16, 2014. Owners may contact Riverside at 1-765-472-3920 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.
