The defect
Cimarron Trailers (Cimarron) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 NS, LS, SS, and SW livestock trailers, manufactured January 2006, through September 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.
The risk
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.
