Defect Description
Merhow Acquisition, LLC (Merhow) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Horse Trailers equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
Safety 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.
Remedy
Merhow has notified owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2013. Owners may contact Merhow customer service at 1-269-483-0010, or Fastec customer service at 1-800-837-2505.
