Recall 13V432000
LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
Defect Description
Cowtown Sleepers & Pick-up Tops & Accessories Inc. (Cowtown Sleepers) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 truck sleepers manufactured April 15, 2008, through April 25, 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.
Safety Consequence
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.
Remedy
Cowtown Sleepers will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during November 2013. Owners may contact Cowtown Sleepers at 1-817-293-9100 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
