FIC Lock Recall
All,
In mid-October I received a recall notice for the locks on my travel trailer. Apparently some locks are defective and it is possible to be locked inside the trailer. So I called them, received new locks, and just installed them. Thought I would post it here as I haven't seen it previously.
The recall is for locks manufactured between January 1, 2006 and April 30, 2013. Only FIC locks which have an integrated deadbolt are effected.
To determine if you have an effected lock look at your key. If it is a FIC key and it has one of the following key codes:
HF-304, 307, 308, 309, 311, 313, 315, 316, 320, 322, 323, 328, 331, 335, 336, 339, 342, 343, 347, 349 it is effected. If you don't have the original keys, these numbers can be found on a white label, attached to the main body of the lock under the interior paddle handle (you have to remove 4 screws on the inside to see it). To contact the manufacture, call 800-837-2505.
I didn't want to fuss with trying to post the recall notice, but if someone else wants to do that, send me a PM and I will scan and email it back.
