AMERICAN HAULER

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH

American Hauler is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 cargo trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, to July 30, 2010, equipped with a flushlock option (which uses a Fastec-brand door lock). It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.

Risk: If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the cargo trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy: American Hauler will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2013. Owners may contact American Hauler at 1-574-264-0227 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505. The repair is free at any franchised dealer of your brand.
