The defect
Nomad Global Communication Solutions (Nomad) is recalling certain model year 2013 Dispatch 14A, 20SS0 and 16AS0 vehicles manufactured July 2013 through October, 2013 and equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. 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 trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
