Adventurer recall: Latches/locks/linkages
What is wrong
Adventurer LP is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 truck campers manufactured October 2009, through March 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.
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
Adventurer LP will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on October 31, 2013. Owners may contact Adventurer LP at 1-505-895-7064 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
