Recall 13V575 affects 9 2006-2013 Space Craft Fifth Wheel Trailer vehicles for a Fastec door-lock deadbolt jam. Lock-cylinder inspection and replacement are free.
Space Craft is recalling 9 2006-2013 Fifth Wheel Trailer RVs with Fastec-brand door locks because removing the key in the problem position can jam the deadbolt. If the lock jams while someone is inside, that person can be trapped in the trailer and unable to exit; the dealer repair will be free once Space Craft makes it available.

What's wrong?
The door lock on the 2006-2013 Space Craft Fifth Wheel Trailer is the entry-door latch and deadbolt assembly. The latch keeps the door closed during normal use, and the deadbolt is the keyed lock that extends into the door frame when you secure the trailer.
On affected trailers, the Fastec-brand lock can let the key come out in a position that leaves the deadbolt jammed. When that happens, the deadbolt no longer moves cleanly with the key or handle. The door lock can bind instead of locking or unlocking the way it should.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign is the key or deadbolt not moving normally, or the door failing to lock or unlock when you use the key.

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?
If the deadbolt jams, the inside lock can jam too, trapping someone inside the travel trailer and blocking exit when they need to leave. If the lock binds or jams, stop using that door and contact a Space Craft dealer for recall service. Repair will be free at any franchised Space Craft dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2013 Space Craft Fifth Wheel Trailer is included in this recall.
- Look for the Space Craft owner notice mailed January 10, 2014, and keep it with your trailer records.
- Contact Space Craft customer service to confirm the Fastec door-lock inspection and free cylinder replacement routing.
- Reference recall number 13V575 when you call so Space Craft or Fastec can match the repair to the door-lock recall.
- Test the trailer door from inside before each trip and keep another exit clear until the lock cylinders are inspected or replaced.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Space Craft technician inspects the Fastec door lock cylinders and replaces the cylinders that need replacement, free of charge. Space Craft and Fastec coordinate the inspection and replacement work. The filing says the recall began on January 10, 2014, but it does not state that the remedy is open now. If your trailer is included, ask Space Craft service how the free inspection is handled for your VIN and lock set. The dealer repair will be free once available.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 13V575?
Recall 13V575 covers 9 2006-2013 Space Craft Fifth Wheel Trailer units equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. The key can be removed in a way that jams the deadbolt, trapping a person inside. Fastec coordinates inspection and cylinder replacement for free.
What should I do if my 2006-2013 Space Craft Fifth Wheel Trailer is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 13V575. If it is, contact Space Craft at 1-660-463-7520 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505 to arrange the free door-lock inspection and cylinder replacement.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the recall remedy to be performed at no cost, and Space Craft's remedy states that Fastec coordinates inspection and replacement of the affected lock cylinders free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is entrapment inside the trailer. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the lock can jam too, leaving a person inside unable to exit and increasing the risk of injury.
What if I bought my Space Craft trailer used?
The free recall repair still applies. A used trailer owner does not need the original recall letter to act. Check your VIN, then reference recall 13V575 when you contact Space Craft or Fastec for the door-lock inspection.
