Recall 14V016 covers 5,839 2011-2014 Winnebago trailers and fifth wheels across multiple models for Fastec door locks that jam. Repair will be free once available.

Winnebago is recalling 5,839 2011-2014 One, Bristol Bay, Brookside, and related travel trailers and fifth wheels equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. The deadbolt can jam and trap a person inside, forcing use of the emergency exit and increasing the risk of injury; the Winnebago dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The recalled 2011-2014 Winnebago trailers and fifth wheels use Fastec-brand entry-door locks. The lock and deadbolt are supposed to secure the door when parked, then release cleanly when the correct key turns the cylinder. In normal use, the key should come out only after the lock parts are aligned.

On affected units, the key can be removed in a position that leaves the deadbolt mechanism out of line. That misalignment can jam the deadbolt instead of letting it retract. A jammed deadbolt can keep the entry door from opening normally until the lock is freed or repaired.

There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up when the key is removed and the deadbolt jams, so treat any sticking or locked-up entry door as a lock problem that needs dealer attention.

Who's affected?

The scope reaches both Winnebago and Sunnybrook trailer model lines across 2011-2014, all tied to latches, locks, and linkages.

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

What's the safety risk?

A jammed deadbolt can trap someone inside the travel trailer by locking the interior side of the door lock. That leaves the emergency exit as the way out and increases injury risk. If the lock sticks or binds, stop using that entry door and arrange inspection. Repair will be free at any franchised Winnebago dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2011-2014 Winnebago or Sunnybrook trailer or fifth wheel is included in this recall.
  2. Look for Winnebago's owner notice before scheduling repair work if your VIN is included.
  3. Call Winnebago customer service at 1-574-825-5250 and reference recall number 14V016 when you call.
  4. Ask about the free Fastec lock-cylinder inspection and replacement that fixes the deadbolt jam risk.
  5. Keep the emergency exit clear until the door lock cylinders are inspected or replaced.

What happens at the repair

Winnebago has not provided an owner notification schedule for this recall, so the final repair should be treated as not open until owners are notified. Once the repair is available, Winnebago will notify owners and Fastec will coordinate inspection of the Fastec brand door lock cylinders. A Winnebago technician or Fastec coordinated service provider will replace the lock cylinders as needed, free of charge. The goal is to correct deadbolt jamming caused by the key being removed in the wrong lock position. Parts and labor are covered under the recall.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 14V016?

Recall 14V016 covers 5,839 2011-2014 Winnebago trailers and fifth wheels with Fastec-brand door locks. The key can be removed in a way that jams the deadbolt, trapping a person inside and forcing use of the emergency exit. Winnebago and Fastec will inspect and replace lock cylinders as needed for free.

What should I do if my 2011-2014 Winnebago trailer or fifth wheel is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer or fifth wheel is included in recall 14V016. If it is, contact a franchised Winnebago dealer or Winnebago customer service at 1-574-825-5250 and reference recall LOC12414. The lock inspection and needed cylinder replacement are free.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. For recall 14V016, Winnebago says Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the affected door-lock cylinders as needed, free of charge.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is being trapped inside the travel trailer. If the deadbolt jams, the inside part of the door lock can jam too, leaving a person unable to exit through the main door and forcing use of the emergency exit, which increases injury risk.

What if I bought this Winnebago 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 trailer or fifth wheel is included, then reference recall 14V016 or Winnebago recall LOC12414 when you call the dealer.
