RN

Published June 2, 2026

Recall 13V563 covers 3,558 2006-2013 Sooner Travel Trailer vehicles with Fastec door locks that can jam. Fastec coordinates free lock-cylinder replacement.

Sooner is recalling 3,558 2006-2013 Travel Trailer units under recall 13V563 because Fastec-brand door locks can let the key be removed in a way that jams the deadbolt. If the lock jams, someone inside the trailer can be trapped and unable to exit, increasing injury risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The recalled part is the Fastec-brand door lock on the entry door of 2006-2013 Sooner Travel Trailer units. The lock uses a key cylinder to move the deadbolt, which is the sliding metal piece that holds the door locked when it is closed. Under normal use, the key should lock or unlock the deadbolt without leaving the mechanism stuck between positions.

On affected trailers, the key can be removed from the lock in a position that jams the deadbolt. Once the deadbolt is jammed, the door lock no longer works as designed. The problem is in the lock operation itself, not in the trailer door frame or hinges.

There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices is that the key comes out and the deadbolt does not move normally afterward. If the lock feels stuck or the deadbolt will not extend or retract, treat it as part of the recalled lock issue.

Who's affected?

Spans travel trailers from every model year in 2006-2013, with the same latches/locks/linkages component listed throughout.

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 also jam the inside lock. If someone is inside the travel trailer, that person can be trapped and unable to exit, which raises the risk of injury. Check the lock before use and arrange the recall service. Repair will be free at any franchised Sooner dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2013 Sooner Travel Trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Review the owner notice mailed on December 17, 2013, or contact Sooner customer service if you never received it.
  3. Contact Sooner at 1-405-262-6471 to ask about the free Fastec lock-cylinder inspection and replacement that fixes the deadbolt-jam risk.
  4. Reference recall number 13V563 when you call so the service desk can find the correct lock-cylinder recall.
  5. Avoid using the travel trailer for occupied trips until the door lock is inspected and the cylinder is replaced if needed.

What happens at the repair

Sooner's remedy describes owner notification and Fastec coordination for inspection and replacement of the door lock cylinders, as needed, at no charge. Once the dealer repair is available for your VIN, a Sooner technician inspects the Fastec door lock cylinders and replaces affected cylinders. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the repair itself is free when it opens for your trailer.
