Keyline recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Keyline Sales is recalling certain exterior doors manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 2013 for use in cargo and specialty trailers that were built with Fastec-brand door locks. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
What could happen
If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Keyline Sales will notify the manufacturers that purchased the affected doors from them, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the lock cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Keyline Sales at 1-574-294-5611 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
