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

Recall 13V649 covers 41 2006-2013 Cruiser Rv travel trailers with Fastec door locks that can jam. Cylinder inspection and replacement are free.

Cruiser Rv is recalling 41 2006-2013 recreational trailers, including Fun Finder, Shadow Cruiser, and Radiance models, with Fastec-brand door locks because the key can be removed in a way that jams the deadbolt. If the deadbolt jams, someone inside can be trapped and need the emergency exit, increasing injury risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The entry door lock on affected 2006-2013 Cruiser Rv Radiance, Shadow Cruiser, Fun Finder Xtra, Fun Finder, Viewfinder, Signature, and Enterra recreational trailers uses a Fastec-brand deadbolt. The lock is supposed to let the key turn the deadbolt into the locked or unlocked position, then release the key only after the lock is properly set.

In NHTSA campaign 13V649, Cruiser Rv describes a lock condition where the key can come out in a way that leaves the deadbolt jammed. When that happens, the deadbolt does not move normally with the key. The trailer door lock then stays stuck instead of opening or closing as expected.

There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign is a door lock that does not respond normally after the key has been removed and reinserted.

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?

A jammed deadbolt can also jam the inside door lock. If someone is inside the travel trailer, they can be locked in and left to exit through the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury. Repair will be free at any franchised Cruiser Rv dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2013 Cruiser Rv Fun Finder, Shadow Cruiser, Fun Finder Xtra, Viewfinder, Signature, Radiance, or Enterra trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Use the owner notice mailed on January 20, 2014, if you have it, or contact Cruiser Rv for current repair instructions.
  3. Ask about the free Fastec door-lock inspection and cylinder replacement that fixes the deadbolt jam risk.
  4. Reference recall number 13V649 when you call Cruiser Rv or the repair coordinator.
  5. Keep the emergency exit clear until the lock repair is complete.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Cruiser Rv technician inspects the Fastec door lock cylinders for the deadbolt condition described in recall 13V649. Fastec coordinates the inspection and replacement of the cylinders when replacement is needed. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. If the lock jams before the repair is completed, tell the service desk the trailer has Fastec-brand door locks covered by this campaign.
