NHTSA Recall 14V003000


Report Receipt Date: January 17, 2014
NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V003000
Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
Potential Number of Units Affected: 399
All Products Associated with this Recall: 2013 Evergreen Ascend/Ever-Lite/Ever-Lite Select/I-Go
Manufacturer: EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC
SUMMARY: EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC (EverGreen) is recalling certain model year 2013 Ever-Lite, Ever-Lite Select, i-Go, and Ascend travel trailers manufactured February 17, 2012, through October 30, 2012 and equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. In the affected trailers, it may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
CONSEQUENCE: 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.
REMEDY: EverGreen will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact EverGreen at 1-574-825-4298 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
