2006-2013 Team Spirit Recall 13V411: Door Lock Jam

RN
Reviewed by the RecallNotify editorial team
Published June 2, 2026

Recall 13V411 covers 534 2006-2013 Team Spirit enclosed cargo trailers with Fastec deadbolts that can jam. Inspection and cylinder replacement are free.

Team Spirit is recalling 534 2006-2013 enclosed cargo trailers, including the Tsdpl and Tspl, because a Fastec-brand integrated deadbolt lock can jam after the key is removed. If the deadbolt jams, a person inside can be locked in and unable to exit, increasing the risk of injury; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The integrated deadbolt lock on 2006-2013 Team Spirit enclosed cargo trailers is the lock built into the entry door latch. Its normal job is simple: the latch holds the door shut, and the deadbolt adds a locked position so the door stays secured when the key is turned and removed.

On affected trailers, the Fastec-brand lock can be left in a bad position if the key is pulled out during the wrong part of the locking motion. That key position can jam the deadbolt instead of leaving it fully locked or fully unlocked. Once jammed, the lock no longer responds normally to the key, and the door can stay stuck in the locked position.

There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up when the deadbolt has already jammed, so the practical clue is a key that turns without freeing the door or a door that will not open after unlocking.

Who's affected?

Spans Team Spirit trailer models Tsdpl, Tspl, Tscdts, Tscfts, Tscgts, Tscpts, Tscr, and Tscsts across the 2006-2013 model years, all tied to the door latch.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

A jammed deadbolt can also jam the interior side of the door lock. If someone is inside the travel trailer, that person can be locked in and unable to exit, increasing the risk of injury. Treat a jammed door lock as a safety problem and arrange inspection. Repair will be free at any franchised Team Spirit dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2013 Team Spirit Tsdpl, Tspl, Tscdts, Tscfts, Tscgts, Tscpts, Tscr, or Tscsts trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Wait for the Team Spirit owner notice before arranging recall work.
  3. Contact Team Spirit or Fastec after confirming your VIN to arrange the free Fastec deadbolt lock cylinder inspection and replacement that fixes the jam-prone door lock.
  4. Reference recall number 13V411 when you call, and bring the recall notice if you have it.
  5. Keep the door unlocked and do not leave anyone inside the trailer until the lock cylinder has been inspected or replaced.

What happens at the repair

Team Spirit notifies owners, then Fastec coordinates the repair process for the trailer's integrated deadbolt lock. A Team Spirit technician or Fastec service contact inspects the lock cylinder and replaces the cylinder when the inspection shows it is needed. The cylinder inspection and replacement are free under the recall. The filing does not give a repair time, so ask the service contact what to expect when arranging the inspection.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 13V411?

Recall 13V411 covers 534 2006-2013 Team Spirit enclosed cargo trailers with Fastec integrated deadbolt locks. The key can be removed in a way that jams the deadbolt, which can also jam the interior lock and trap a person inside. Fastec will coordinate inspection and cylinder replacement for free.

What should I do if my 2006-2013 Team Spirit Tsdpl, Tspl, Tscdts, Tscfts, Tscgts, Tscpts, Tscr, or Tscsts trailer is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 13V411. If it is, contact Team Spirit or Fastec to arrange inspection of the Fastec deadbolt lock and replacement of the lock cylinder as needed. The recall repair is free.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the recall remedy to be performed at no cost to the owner. For recall 13V411, Fastec coordinates the lock inspection and cylinder replacement as needed, free of charge, for affected Team Spirit trailers.

What is the safety risk from this Team Spirit trailer recall?

The risk is being trapped inside the trailer. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock can jam too, leaving a person inside unable to exit and increasing injury risk. Confirm the VIN, then arrange the free lock inspection and repair.

What if I bought my Team Spirit trailer used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the trailer, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific 2006-2013 Team Spirit trailer is included, then reference recall 13V411 when you contact Team Spirit or Fastec about the lock repair.
