Defect Description

Shadow Trailers Inc. (Shadow Trailers) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 gooseneck and bumperpull horse trailers manufactured December 1, 2005, through August 11, 2011 and equipped with Fastec-brand door locks with key cylinder numbers HF 304, HF 307, HF 308 and HF 309. 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

Shadow Trailers will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began December 10, 2013. Owners may contact Shadow Trailers at 1-352-529-2190 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
