What is wrong
Carson Trailer, Inc. (Carson) is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Fun Runner trailers manufactured May 12, 2006, to June 7, 2012, and equipped with a Fastec-brand door lock. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
What can happen
If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel 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.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Carson will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Carson at 1-310-516-6046 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
