Entegra / Jayco / Starcraft recall: Latches/locks/linkages
What is wrong
Jayco Corporation (Jayco) is recalling all model year 2006-2014 Jayco, Starcraft, and Entegra towable travel, fifth wheel and camping trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 30, 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
Jayco will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The began on January 31, 2014. Owners may contact Jayco at 1-574-825-5861 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
