Published June 2, 2026

Recall 14V071 covers 480 2006-2014 Three Feathers trailers and campers with Fastec door locks that can jam. Cylinder inspection and replacement are free.

Three Feathers is recalling 480 2006-2014 Mule Cargo Hauler, Backpacker 2, and Pinecone Tear Drop Trlr trailers and campers with Fastec-brand door locks because the key can be removed in a way that jams the deadbolt. If the lock jams from inside, a person can be trapped in the trailer or camper, and the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The recalled part is the Fastec-brand door lock used on certain 2006-2014 Three Feathers trailers and campers, including Mule Cargo Hauler, Backpacker, Pinecone Tear Drop Trlr, and other listed models. The lock is supposed to let the key cylinder move the latch and deadbolt cleanly, so the entry door can be secured from the outside and opened when needed.

On affected trailers, the key can be removed from the lock in a position that leaves the deadbolt jammed. Once the deadbolt is jammed, the door lock does not operate as intended. The issue is with the lock and deadbolt mechanism, rather than the trailer body or chassis.

There is no warning sign before failure. The lock can appear normal until the key is removed in the problem position and the deadbolt jams.

Who's affected?

Covers cargo hauler, camper, and trailer variants from 2006-2014, 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 trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

A jammed deadbolt can also jam the inside door lock. Someone inside the trailer or camper can be locked in and unable to exit, increasing the risk of injury. Treat any sticking lock as a reason to stop using that door and arrange service. Repair will be free at any franchised Three Feathers dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2014 Three Feathers trailer or camper is included in this recall.
  2. Contact Three Feathers at 1-541-663-8163 to ask Fastec to coordinate the free door-lock-cylinder inspection and replacement that fixes the deadbolt jam risk.
  3. Reference recall number 14V071 when you call.
  4. Bring any owner notice or prior lock-service paperwork to the repair appointment.
  5. Avoid locking the Fastec-brand door deadbolt while anyone is inside until the lock cylinder is inspected or replaced.

What happens at the repair

Three Feathers notified owners after the recall began on March 31, 2014. The repair path listed for this campaign is an inspection coordinated by Fastec, followed by replacement of the door lock cylinders that need replacement. A Three Feathers technician checks the Fastec door lock cylinders and replaces the affected cylinders under the recall. The final dealer repair will be free once available, and parts and labor are covered by the campaign.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 14V071?

What should I do if my 2006-2014 Three Feathers trailer or camper is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer or camper is included in recall 14V071. If it is, contact Three Feathers at 1-541-663-8163 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505 to arrange the lock inspection and cylinder replacement. The repair is free.

The safety risk is entrapment inside the trailer or camper. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock can jam too, leaving a person inside unable to exit and increasing the risk of injury.
