Kingston recall: Latches/locks/linkages
What is wrong
Kingston Trailers, Inc. (Kingston) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 horse trailers built with dressing rooms, manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 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.
What could happen
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 fix
Kingston will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 13, 2013. Owners may contact Kingston at 1-781-585-4337 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
