Posted on: 2013-10-18
Description
Bloomer trailers is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 recreational 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.

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 without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Corrective Action
Bloomer trailers will notify owners, and fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge.  The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.  Owners may contact bloomer trailers at 1-800-390-6377 or fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
