Defect. Jayco Corporation (Jayco) is recalling all model year 2006-2014 Jayco, Starcraft, and Entegra towable travel, fifth wheel and camping trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 30, 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. Jayco will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The began on January 31, 2014. Owners may contact Jayco at 1-574-825-5861 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

WHILE TRAVELING EAST ON U.S 30 IN INDIANA, SPEED 58 MPH, LEFT REAR TIRE ON RV BLEW WITH NO WARNING. TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED PRIOR TO DEPARTURE THE MORNING OF THE FAILURE. TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM TIRE AND DAMAGED SIDE PANEL AND SOME WIRING UNDER THE RV. WE CHANGED THE TIRE, USING THE SPARE AND MADE IT INTO THE CAMPGROUND. WE WENT TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS ALREADY SHOWING TREAD SEPARATION AND WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE MADE IT INTO THE TIRE SHOP WITHOUT HAVING ANOTHER FAILURE. WE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AT A SIGNIFICANT COST TO US. TIRES HAD LESS THAN 7000 MILES ON THEM, RV IS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD. RV MANUFACTURER DOES NOT WARRANTY THE TIRES. TIRES WERE POWER KING TOW MAX THAT CAME ON THE RV. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
