What's wrong?
The door lock on the 2013 Trailers Usa Horse Trailer is supposed to secure the entry door and let the deadbolt move cleanly between locked and unlocked positions. The key and lock cylinder control that deadbolt, so the door can be locked from outside and opened again without forcing the latch.
This recall centers on Fastec-brand door locks. On affected trailers, the key can be removed from the lock in a way that leaves the deadbolt jammed. Once that happens, the lock no longer moves the deadbolt as intended, and the door lock can stay stuck instead of releasing normally.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will notice the problem when the key comes out and the deadbolt does not respond normally, or when the door stays locked even though the lock has been turned.

Not every 2013 Trailers Usa Horse Trailer is on the list. 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. Someone inside the horse trailer can be locked in and unable to exit, increasing the risk of injury. Keep the lock checked before use. Repair will be free at any franchised Trailers Usa dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013 Trailers Usa Horse Trailer is included in this recall.
- Wait for Trailers Usa's owner notice before scheduling the free Fastec lock-cylinder inspection and replacement for the deadbolt-jam risk.
- Call Trailers Usa customer service at 1-352-351-4019 with questions about when the repair opens.
- Bring the recall notice if you have one. If not, reference recall number 14V050 when you call.
- Avoid locking the trailer door with anyone inside until the lock cylinders have been inspected or replaced.
What happens at the repair
Trailers Usa has not provided a notification schedule yet, so do not assume the final repair can be scheduled now. Once the repair process opens, a Trailers Usa technician or Fastec-coordinated repair provider will inspect the Fastec door lock cylinders and replace affected cylinders if needed. The inspection and replacement will be free under the recall. Keep the owner letter or recall notice with your trailer paperwork so the service desk can match the trailer to campaign 14V050 when scheduling opens.
