May affect Keystone - Door Lock Recall

I don't know if this will affect Keystone products or not, but as the Forum has had a recent thread on door lock issues, I thought it would be worthwhile to post.

http://rvnewsservice.com/2013/08/08/...ocks-recalled/

It is easy enough to check to see if you have a recalled lock.

The article says it is easy to tell if you have a recall lock, but does not say how. Sheesh!

Sorry Mark, I only picked up one URL from the other Forum. I just kinda thought others might look up Fastec Industrial using Google, Yahoo, or another search engine. Here's the FAQ page from Fastec that describes how to find the lock model number and the type of keys required.

Thank you so much for posting this. Just a few days ago, when getting our 2013 Bullet 248RKS set up for Dennis who is working out of town several days a week, this very thing happened when our daughter was trying to unlock the door. We now can't open it from the inside or outside. Thank goodness for a second door! Dennis will be returning there tomorrow and will check the lock's model number. It would be nice to get a free replacement in the mail instead of having to pull the trailer back home and take it in to get replaced.

Thank you Ron!

DH checked, and ours is part of the recall. [on edit: at least we think it may be? We had a problem with ours previously, so we'll watch for more info]
If we don't hear from Keystone by the end of Sept, we'll be making some phone calls

I just checked the Fastec site and safercar.gov
Three common models of locks are included but the wording is such that not all locks of those models are affected, just those with certain key codes. At least by my reading. Unfortunately nothing specifies those key codes yet so we'll have to wait and watch for additional information. Neither Keystone nor the dealer has been very good about notifying me of things so I am proactive. This site has been very helpful.

Looks like I too have the model number, but I will need to wait for the key info to see if I am part of the recall.

Thanks for posting this!

According to the info so far almost three million locks will be affected by this so it's going to be huge.

Thanks so much for the notice.

The key got stuck in our lock, but luckily the trailer was at home. My wife had to crawl in through the laundry door in the pass thru storage and disassemble the door lock from the inside. After about an hour I was finally able to get the key out and working again. I thought it was just a fluke that it happened.

Will be waiting for the official notice. If it doesn't come, then I will replace the lock anyway.

earlier this year After i noticed some people getting these locks jammed i quit locking our deadbolt from the outside. We only have the one door in our 3100rk so if it jams breaking in is the only answer.

Ok, here are the details!

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs...3E039-9876.pdf



SAFETY RECALL NOTICE
Fastec Industrial Corp., a division of WESCO Distribution, Inc., will announce, under the
auspices of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”), a voluntary recall
and replacement program for certain Travel Trailer Lock Deadbolt Cylinders manufactured by
Zhongshan Huafeng Lock Product Co., Ltd. and sold under the FIC brand name between January
1, 2006 and April 25, 2013 (the “Recall Period”).
Our records indicate that Fastec sold potentially affected locks to you during the Recall
Period.

I. Deadbolt Cylinders Subject to Recall
The potentially affected locks are all deadbolt locks that were sold during the Recall
Period with one of the following WESCO part numbers: 43610-00 (Chrome), 43610-06 (Black),
43610-09 (White), 40610-00 (Chrome), 40610-06 (Black), 40610-09 (White), 44610-03
(Chrome), 44610-06 (Black), 44610-09 (White).

The deadbolt cylinders subject to recall fall into two categories.

First, a deadbolt lock with one of the WESCO part numbers sold during the Recall Period
is subject to recall if it has one of the following 20 cylinder key codes: HF
-304, HF-307, HF-308,HF-309, HF-311, HF-313, HF-315, HF-316, HF-320, HF-322, HF-323, HF-328,
HF-331,HF-335, HF-336, HF-339, HF-342, HF-343, HF-347, and HF-349.
The cylinder key code of the lock is stamped on the metal shaft of the Black Headed FICuser key.

The cylinder key code additionally may be found on a white label that is attached to the
main body of the lock. (Example: Ref: Code HF-311, image 2). In the case of a mounted lock,
remove the four interior mounting screws and remove the interior paddle handle and plate
assembly to view the label.

Second, the recall includes anydeadbolt lock
with one of the WESCO part numbers,regardless of the key code, where the key
can be removed from the deadbolt cylinder when the
key is in the 9 o’clock position and the deadbolt is engaged. Under normal use and operation,
the keys to the lock should only be able to be removed in the 12 o’clock (neutral) and 3 o’clock
(unlocked) positions.

So, from the second statement, how can I know if my lock if affected without trying to remove the key in the 9 o'clock position?
They said it could prevent operating the deadbolt from the inside, but can it still be operated from the outside using the key?
And if I try and the deadbolt effectively jams, does that means that I've locked myself out of the RV? (I have a Passport 195RB with only one door)

Just don't want to try that!

I have the same problem, we are still camping so i will not test it until i get the camper home and then only with the door open -- so if it jams, i can still get to the screws on the inside of the door.

Well I just checked my cougar to see if the key removes at the 9 o'clock position and it doesn't. only reason being its I have two doors and two sets of keys that are different and I was hoping one would fail so I could possibly get the same key for both and of course my keys fall just below and just above the recalled numbers. Oh well another weekend project on the way :beer:

Howdy All;

Strange, I pulled the inside portion and looked for the part numbers
that are listed in notice posted by B&T above. Nothing there. I do
have a key code that is NOT listed, just checked the operation of the
key, with the door OPEN, so if anything happened I'd still be able
to get in or out.
Reckon I'm one of the fortunate ones...
B&T, thanks for posting the information.

Thank you very much for this. You've answered my question asked in
http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12645

Now to let my friends know they may get their lock fixed, and to check out mine. I know I can take my key out in the 9 o'clock position so I guess I'm part of it.

Edit:

How can I find out if the recall covers Canada?

The online notice you mentioned is just a survey. You need to call them 800-837-2505.
