Recall 13V563000

Latches/locks/linkages — Exiss, Sooner · reported 23 Oct 2013 · 3,558 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Exiss/Sooner, HLG is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Exiss and Sooner travel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, 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.

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

Exiss/Sooner will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 17, 2013. Owners may contact Exiss/Sooner at 1-405-262-6471 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.
