What's wrong?

The door lock on the 2011-2013 Bridgeview TRAVEL/5TH/DESTINATION trailer is the latch and deadbolt assembly at the entry door. The Fastec-brand lock is supposed to let the key cylinder move the deadbolt fully into the locked or unlocked position, then release the key only after the lock has completed that movement.

On affected trailers, the key can be removed in a way that leaves the deadbolt jammed instead of fully seated. Once the deadbolt sticks, the door lock no longer works as intended. The problem is in the lock operation itself: the key removal sequence can leave the bolt caught inside the latch mechanism.

There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up when the key comes out and the deadbolt is stuck, or when the entry door does not lock or unlock normally.

Who's affected?

The scope includes Bridgeview, Georgian Bay, Harborview, and Hy-Line versions of the same trailer line, all tied to the same latches/locks/linkages component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

A jammed deadbolt can also jam the interior lock. Anyone inside the trailer can be locked in and unable to exit, increasing the risk of injury. Treat any sticking lock as a reason to stop using that door and arrange inspection. Repair will be free at any franchised Bridgeview dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2011-2013 Bridgeview TRAVEL/5TH/DESTINATION trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Watch for the owner notice from Bridgeview or Fastec, or call Bridgeview customer service at 1-574-294-1112 for the current repair instructions.
  3. Ask how to get the free Fastec door-lock inspection and cylinder replacement that fixes the deadbolt-jam risk.
  4. Reference recall number 13V587 when you call so the service desk can find the campaign.
  5. Avoid locking the trailer door from the outside while someone is inside until the lock inspection and repair are complete.

What happens at the repair

At service, a Bridgeview technician inspects the Fastec door lock cylinders for deadbolt jamming and replaces the cylinders that fail inspection. The remedy is handled through Fastec coordination, and the inspection and any needed cylinder replacement are free under the recall. Because the current remedy status is not listed, confirm parts, scheduling, and where the trailer should be taken before you bring it in. The service desk can also tell you whether the lock work is handled at the dealer or through Fastec's repair process.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 13V587?

Recall 13V587 covers 716 2011-2013 Bridgeview TRAVEL/5TH/DESTINATION trailers equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. The deadbolt can jam after key removal, and the inside lock can jam too, trapping a person inside and increasing injury risk. Fastec coordinates inspection and needed cylinder replacement for free.

What should I do if my 2011-2013 Bridgeview TRAVEL/5TH/DESTINATION is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 13V587. If it is, contact a franchised Bridgeview dealer or call Bridgeview at 1-574-294-1112 to arrange the Fastec lock inspection and cylinder replacement. Reference recall 13V587 when you call.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair safety defects at no cost, and this recall provides the Fastec lock inspection and needed cylinder replacement free of charge. Parts and labor are covered for included 2011-2013 Bridgeview TRAVEL/5TH/DESTINATION trailers.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is entrapment inside the trailer. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock can jam too. A person inside the trailer can be unable to exit, which increases the risk of injury.

What if I bought this trailer used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific 2011-2013 Bridgeview TRAVEL/5TH/DESTINATION trailer is included, then contact a franchised Bridgeview dealer with recall 13V587.
