2006-2013 Play-Mor Trailers Recall 13V519: Deadbolt Jam

Published June 2, 2026

Recall 13V519 affects 241 2006-2013 Play-Mor Sportster, Play-Mor, and Motorsport travel trailers for a Fastec deadbolt-jamming defect. Repair is free at any franchised Play-Mor dealer.

Play-Mor is recalling 241 2006-2013 Sportster, Play-Mor, and Motorsport travel trailers because the Fastec-brand door lock can jam the deadbolt when the key is removed a certain way. If the interior side of the lock jams, someone inside can be trapped and forced to use the emergency exit; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The recalled part is the Fastec-brand door lock on 2006-2013 Play-Mor Sportster, Play-Mor, and Motorsport travel trailers. The lock and latch hold the entry door closed while the trailer is parked or in use, and the deadbolt adds a separate locking point. When it works correctly, turning the key moves the lock parts into a clear locked or unlocked position.

In NHTSA campaign 13V519, the problem is the way the key can come out of the lock. If the key is removed at the wrong point in the cylinder's travel, the lock parts can stop between positions and jam the deadbolt. A jammed deadbolt can keep the door from opening normally until the lock is freed or repaired.

There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign is the deadbolt sticking, refusing to retract, or leaving the key and door lock out of their normal positions.

Who's affected?

Spans three Play-Mor trailer lines across eight model years, all tied to the latches/locks/linkages component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

A jammed deadbolt can trap someone inside the travel trailer and force use of the emergency exit. That raises the risk of injury. Check the lock before use and schedule the recall inspection if your VIN is included. Repair will be free at any franchised Play-Mor dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2013 Play-Mor Sportster, Play-Mor, or Motorsport travel trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Watch for the owner letter if you have not received one; Play-Mor mailed notices beginning November 13, 2013.
  3. Contact Play-Mor at 1-573-455-2387 to ask about the free Fastec door-lock cylinder inspection and replacement that fixes the deadbolt jam risk.
  4. Reference recall number 13V519 when you call Play-Mor or speak with a service contact.
  5. Keep the emergency exit clear until the lock cylinders are inspected or replaced.

What happens at the repair

The repair process centers on the Fastec door lock cylinders. The remedy says Play-Mor notified owners beginning November 13, 2013, and Fastec coordinates the inspection and replacement of the cylinders when replacement is needed. If the final dealer process is not open for your trailer, the dealer repair will be free once available. At the dealer or coordinated service visit, a Play-Mor technician checks the affected door lock, confirms whether the cylinder can jam the deadbolt, and replaces the cylinder covered by the recall at no charge.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 13V519?

Recall 13V519 covers 241 2006-2013 Play-Mor Sportster, Play-Mor, and Motorsport travel trailers equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. A key-removal condition can jam the deadbolt and trap someone inside, increasing injury risk. Fastec will coordinate inspection and cylinder replacement as needed, free of charge.

What should I do if my 2006-2013 Play-Mor Sportster, Play-Mor, or Motorsport is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific travel trailer is included in recall 13V519. If it is, contact Play-Mor at 1-573-455-2387 or ask a franchised Play-Mor service contact about the Fastec door-lock inspection and cylinder replacement. The repair is free.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the recall remedy says Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of affected lock cylinders free of charge. Have recall number 13V519 ready when you call.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is being trapped inside the travel trailer if the Fastec deadbolt jams. If the interior side of the lock also jams, a person inside has to use the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury. The free remedy is lock-cylinder inspection and replacement as needed.

What if I bought the Play-Mor trailer used?

The free recall repair still applies to used travel trailers. Ownership history does not remove a federal safety recall. Check your VIN to confirm whether your trailer is included, then contact Play-Mor or a service contact and reference recall 13V519.
