Recall 13V647 covers 223 2006-2013 Bay Bridge Mfg cargo box vans and trailers with Fastec door locks that can jam. Inspection and replacement are free.

Bay Bridge Mfg is recalling 223 2006-2013 Frp Unit, Classic Unit, Sheet And Post Unit, and Sheet & Post Unit Trailer cargo box vans and trailers with Fastec-brand door locks. If the deadbolt jams, someone inside can be locked in and unable to exit, which raises the risk of injury; the Bay Bridge Mfg dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The door lock on these 2006-2013 Bay Bridge Mfg Frp Unit, Classic Unit, Sheet And Post Unit, and Sheet & Post Unit Trailer cargo box vans and trailers is a Fastec-brand lock. Its job is to let the cargo door latch, lock, and unlock cleanly so the door stays secure while the van or trailer is in use.

The problem is inside the lock operation. The key can be removed in a way that jams the deadbolt, which is the sliding metal bolt that holds the door locked. Once the deadbolt jams, the lock no longer moves through its normal lock and unlock travel.

There is no warning sign before failure. The issue shows up when the key and deadbolt stop working normally, so treat a stiff key, stuck lock, or door that will not unlock as a reason to stop using that lock until Bay Bridge Mfg service guidance is followed.

Who's affected?

Spans four Bay Bridge Mfg body and trailer configurations across the 2006-2013 model years, all tied to the same latches/locks/linkages component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

A jammed deadbolt can trap someone inside the travel trailer if the interior side of the door lock jams too. That blocks exit from the vehicle and increases the risk of injury. Treat any deadbolt problem as a reason to arrange recall service. Repair will be free at any franchised Bay Bridge Mfg dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2013 Bay Bridge Mfg Frp Unit, Classic Unit, Sheet And Post Unit, or Sheet & Post Unit Trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Contact Bay Bridge Mfg at 1-578-848-7477 to confirm the Fastec door-lock inspection and lock-cylinder replacement path for your VIN.
  3. Reference recall number 13V647 when you call, and keep any Bay Bridge or Fastec owner notice with your vehicle paperwork.
  4. Avoid locking the door from the outside until the inspection is complete, since the deadbolt can jam and trap a person inside.
  5. Schedule the free Fastec lock-cylinder replacement if inspection shows the door lock is affected.

What happens at the repair

Bay Bridge Mfg notifies owners, and Fastec coordinates the repair work for the Fastec-brand door locks. A Bay Bridge Mfg technician or Fastec-coordinated service contact inspects the lock cylinders and replaces affected cylinders as needed. The inspection and cylinder replacement are free under the recall. The source remedy says the recall began in March 2014. For repair coordination, owners can contact Bay Bridge at 1-578-848-7477 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
