2006-2013 Cjay Cargo Trailers Recall 13V626: Door Lock

RN
Reviewed by the RecallNotify editorial team
Published June 2, 2026

Recall 13V626 covers 2,261 2006-2013 Cjay cargo trailers with Fastec door locks that can trap someone inside. Inspection and replacement are free.

Cjay is recalling 2,261 2006-2013 cargo trailers, including CJ714 and CJ814 models, because Fastec-brand door locks can jam the deadbolt after the key is removed. If the interior lock jams too, a person inside can be trapped and unable to exit, increasing the risk of injury; the Cjay dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The affected part is the Fastec-brand door lock on 2006-2013 Cjay cargo trailers. The lock and latch hold the trailer door closed, and the deadbolt is the part that slides into place when the key is turned. When it works correctly, the key operates the deadbolt without leaving the door locked by accident.

The recall describes a lock condition tied to how the key is removed. If the key is pulled out in the wrong position, the deadbolt can jam instead of moving normally. A jammed deadbolt can leave the door stuck locked, which means someone inside the trailer has a blocked exit path until the lock is opened or repaired.

There is no warning sign before failure. The problem appears during key use, so the lock can seem normal until the deadbolt jams.

Who's affected?

Spans CJ-series and FX9-620 Combo trailer models across the 2006-2013 model years, all tied to latches/locks/linkages.

A matching Cjay trailer 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 side of the door lock. If someone is inside the trailer, that person can be locked in and unable to exit, increasing the risk of injury. Check the lock operation before use and schedule the recall inspection soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Cjay dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2013 Cjay trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Contact Cjay customer service at 1-306-694-0445 for repair instructions if you never received the owner notice.
  3. Reference recall number 13V626 when you call, and ask how Fastec will coordinate the free door-lock cylinder inspection and replacement.
  4. Avoid locking anyone inside the trailer until the Fastec-brand door-lock cylinders are inspected or replaced.
  5. Bring the recall notice to the repair appointment if you have it.

What happens at the repair

At the service visit, a Cjay technician inspects the Fastec-brand door lock cylinders on the trailer. Fastec coordinates replacement of the cylinders that need replacement. Because the final remedy status is not listed as available here, schedule the work only after Cjay or Fastec confirms the repair path for your trailer. The final dealer repair will be free once available, and parts and labor are covered under the recall.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 13V626?

Recall 13V626 covers 2,261 2006-2013 Cjay cargo trailers equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. The key can be removed in a way that jams the deadbolt, which can trap a person inside the trailer. Fastec coordinates inspection and cylinder replacement for free.

What should I do if my 2006-2013 Cjay trailer is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 13V626. If it is, contact Cjay or Fastec to arrange the free lock inspection and cylinder replacement. Reference Cjay recall number R-12-2013 when you call.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the defect repair at no cost to owners, and the recall remedy says Fastec will inspect and replace the affected door-lock cylinders as needed free of charge.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is being locked inside the trailer. If the deadbolt jams, the inside part of the lock can jam too, leaving a person inside unable to exit and increasing the risk of injury.

What if I bought this Cjay trailer used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the trailer, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm inclusion, then contact Cjay at 1-306-694-0445 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505 for the free inspection and repair path.
