Latches/locks/linkagesRecall 13V-647 · Bay Bridge Mfg vehicles
Bay Bridge Manufacturing LLC recall 13V-647 covers 223 Bay Bridge Mfg vehicles for a latches/locks/linkages problem, reported to NHTSA on December 26, 2013.
Source: NHTSA recall 13V647000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by an NHTSA defect investigation.
The problem
Bay Bridge Manufacturing LLC (Bay Bridge) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 cargo box vans and trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through July 31, 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, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Bay Bridge will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began in March 2014. Owners may contact Bay Bridge at 1-578-848-7477 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.
