Carson Trailer, Inc: Latches/Locks/Linkages › Doors › Latch
Carson Trailer, Inc reported this defect to federal regulators on Jun 29, 2015 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 426. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Carson Trailer, Inc. (Carson) is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Fun Runner trailers manufactured May 12, 2006, to June 7, 2012, and 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.
The 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.
The remedy
Carson will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Carson at 1-310-516-6046 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 15V408000.
