Recalls for 2013 Double R Trailers Utility Trailer

DEFECT #1 - LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

Posted on: 2013-12-17
Description
Double r trailer mfg., inc.  (double r) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 utility trailers manufactured april 1, 2010, through december 6, 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.  

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
Double r will notify owners, and fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge.  The recall began on february 7, 2014.  Owners may contact double r at 1-208-461-7544 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.
