Defect. Skyline Corporation (Skyline) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 recreational vehicle travel trailers and fifth-wheel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through May, 31, 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. Skyline will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on April 7, 2014. Owners may contact Skyline at 1-800-755-6521 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

Filed Oct 24, 200590 vehiclesSkyline Corporation

Defect. CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110 "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THE TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION PLACARD CONTAINS INCORRECT INFORMATION REGARDING THE MAXIMUM CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY.

Risk. IF THE CARGO WEIGHT IS EXCEEDED AND THE TRAILER OVERLOADED, THE EXCESS WEIGHT CAN CAUSE HANDLING PROBLEMS, IRREGULAR TIRE WEAR, TIRE FAILURE OR OTHER DAMAGE. AN OVERLOADED TRAILER IS HARD TO STOP WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

Remedy. OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH NEW TIRE INFORMATION PLACARDS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 27, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SKYLINE AT 1-800-962-7773.

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.
