Recalls for 2007 Cargo South Enclosed Utility Trailer

DEFECT #1 - LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

Posted on: 2013-12-27
Description
Cargo south, inc.  Is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 enclosed utility trailers manufactured january 1, 2006, through april 25, 2013 and equipped with fastec-brand door locks.  In the affected trailers, 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 trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Corrective Action
Cargo south 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 by early february 2014.  Owners may contact cargo south at 1-229-468-5659 or fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

Notes
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.
