🩹 Injury riskNHTSA 13V647📅 Dec 30, 2013

2006–2013 Bay Bridge Mfg Classic Unit & 2006–2013 Bay Bridge Mfg FRP Unit + 2 more recall: door latches & locks

⚠️ What's wrong

Bay Bridge Manufacturing LLC (Bay Bridge) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 cargo box vans and trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through July 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.

💥 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, increasing the risk of injury.

🔧 The fix

Bay Bridge will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began in March 2014. Owners may contact Bay Bridge at 1-578-848-7477 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
