Recalls for 2009 Homesteader Enclosed Cargo Trailer

DEFECT #1 - LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

Posted on: 2013-09-06
Description
Homesteader is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 enclosed cargo trailers and horse trailers manufactured january 2006 through april 2010.  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 recreational vehicle 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
Homesteader will notify owners, and fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge.  The recall began on january 20, 2014.  Owners may contact homesteader at 1-423-626-9040 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.
