What's wrong?
The door lock on a 2006-2013 Carry-On Enclosed Cargo Trailer secures the entry door and controls the deadbolt. In normal use, the key turns the lock cylinder, moves the deadbolt in or out, and then comes out only after the lock is in a proper position. The door should open from the inside when the lock mechanism is not jammed.
On affected trailers, the Fastec-brand lock lets the key come out at the wrong point in the turn. That leaves the lock cylinder and deadbolt out of sync. When that happens, the deadbolt can jam instead of retracting, so the door stays locked even though the person using it expects the latch to release.
There is no warning sign before failure. The lock can feel normal until the key is removed in the wrong position and the deadbolt jams.

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?
In NHTSA campaign 13V586, 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. Stop using the deadbolt if it sticks and arrange the recall inspection. Repair will be free at any franchised Carry-On dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2013 Carry-On Enclosed Cargo Trailer is included in this recall.
- Find the owner notice Carry-On mailed on December 18, 2013, or ask Carry-On customer service for recall instructions.
- Call Carry-On at 1-706-356-5379 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505, and reference recall number 13V586 when you call.
- Schedule the free Fastec lock-cylinder inspection and replacement that fixes the deadbolt jam risk.
- Avoid locking someone inside the trailer until the lock cylinders are inspected or replaced.
What happens at the repair
Carry-On lists the repair path as an inspection of the Fastec door-lock cylinders and replacement of any cylinders that need replacement. Because the current remedy status is not listed, do not assume a same-day repair appointment until the service desk confirms parts and handling for your trailer. Once the repair is available for your VIN, a Carry-On service technician inspects the affected lock cylinders and replaces them free of charge under the recall. Parts and labor are covered.
