Summary
Trailex is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 CTE-80180, model year 2007-2013 CTE-80210 HD and model year 2013 CTE-84180 enclosed car trailers 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.
Consequence
If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the car trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
Trailex will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began during December 2013. Owners may contact Trailex at 1-330-533-6814 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
