2008 Hart Cargo

Defect. Hart Trailer LLC is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Medallion, Ultimate, and Cargo gooseneck and bumper hitch horse 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.

Risk. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel 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. Hart Trailers will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on November 12, 2013. Owners may contact Hart Trailers at 1-405-224-3634 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HART CARGO TRAILER. THE TRAILER IS EQUIPPED WITH CARLISLE HIGH RUN (NA) TIRES, SIZE 235/80/16 (NA). WHILE THE TRAILER WAS BEING PULLED AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXPLODED. THE TIRE WAS TEMPORARILY REPLACED WITH A SPARE TIRE UNTIL THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW TIRE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITH THE OTHER THREE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT APPLICABLE.
