RV Lock Deadbolt Cylinder RECALL.

I called this morning, and they are sending new cylinders, keys and installation tool. All they ask it to send the old cylinders back to them.

"Llco" is a major supplier of key blanks and key duplicating equipment. As far as I can tell, they do not supply Llco branded keys to OEMs. It looks like you probably have a duplicate key, not an original. Do you have any other sets that might have the OEM number on them?

My "dup" keys don't have the OEM codes either, so I had to wait until I was home to check the code (not effected).
I always leave the OEM keys at home and only travel with the dup keys. So I could lose the dup keys and still have good copied made.

Well I cheked the my keys for my fifth wheel and it is on the recall. will be making the call.

By the way, if your RV is a year or so off the date, I would suggest you check anyway. Locks may have been used from a previouse years purchase.

Update: I made the call and have new cylinders and keys being sent, along with the HF-347 key to remove the cylinders. Less than 3 minutes on the phone.

Thank you for posting the recall. Also this is for all RV's not just Travel Trailers!

The recall letter references Travel Trailers ONLY. where does it say it applies to ALL RVs?

I havent called yet, but I actually bought my door handle from camping world as a replacement. Kind of makes me wonder if it's eligible.

yep, after I had made my post it dawned on me that I was carrying a duplicate. have to check again when I get home to see an original.
thanks,

Mowermech. My keys that are on the recall are for my fifth wheel, that's why. I also brought it to their attention about the wording of the recall stating Travel trailers, and mine was a fifth wheel.
Most likley some lawyer wrote the recall and doesn't know the difference.

Did the mod yesterday. Fastec sent the new cylinders and a prepaid return envelope. Recieved 3 days after I called them. Piece of cake to replace, just follow enclosed instructions. My door handle cylinder had stopped woring altogether so used the dead bolt only to lock door. I can understand why the recall since my door handle cylinder had quit.
