Coose Trailer is recalling 17 2006-2013 Travel Trailer units because the Fastec-brand door lock can let the key come out in a position that jams the deadbolt.

What's wrong?
The entry door lock on 2006-2013 Coose Trailer Travel Trailer units is the latch and deadbolt assembly that lets an owner secure the trailer door from outside and release it from inside. The Fastec-brand lock is supposed to let the key turn the cylinder cleanly, move the deadbolt into position, and return the key only when the lock mechanism is aligned.
On affected trailers, the key can be pulled out in a position that leaves the deadbolt mechanism jammed. Once that happens, the deadbolt does not move the way the handle or key command expects. The problem is inside the lock assembly, so the door hardware can look normal while the deadbolt is stuck.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner learns something is wrong when the key, handle, or deadbolt will not release the door as expected.

A matching model year does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the deadbolt jams, the inside lock can jam too. A person inside the travel trailer can be trapped unless they use the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury. If the main door will not open, use the emergency exit and arrange repair. Repair will be free at any franchised Coose Trailer dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2013 Coose Trailer Travel Trailer is included in this recall.
- Use the Coose Trailer owner notice if you received one, or call Coose Trailer for recall instructions before arranging service.
- Ask Coose Trailer or Fastec to coordinate the free Fastec lock-cylinder inspection and replacement that fixes a deadbolt that can jam and block the interior door lock.
- Reference recall number 13V424 when you call so the service desk can match the trailer to the correct door-lock repair.
- Keep the emergency exit clear until the lock repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
The source remedy says this recall began on November 18, 2013, but the current remedy status is not listed. Coose Trailer notifies owners, and Fastec coordinates the inspection of the Fastec door lock cylinders. If a cylinder needs replacement, Fastec coordinates that replacement at no charge under the recall. The final dealer repair will be free once available through the recall process. Use the recall notice language when you contact Coose Trailer or Fastec so the service desk can match the lock cylinder repair to campaign 13V424.
