Just checked my locks and both are part of the recall. Thanks Alain for the heads. Now just have to figure out how to install them when I get them.

Check if your key says FIC. My locks are FICs and although they're not in list (number on the key)they're defective and the company is sending me new locks. I had the same problem, never sure if the deadbolt is engaged or not. Check at
www.fastecindustrial.com to see if your locks are affected.

If it is a TriMark you WILL get locked out. Once it starts getting sloppy the very next step is when the cheap pot metal they use on the inside breaks off and you either get locked in your RV or locked out.

Been there done that TWICE. Once with original equipment and the second time with a new replacement....which is NOT cheap. I had to bend the door frame back to get it out.

If it's a Trimark I understand they now make a steel replacement part for the one that breaks. I highly suggest you look it up and get it replaced ASAP. Can't tell you what a nightmare it is when that breaks and you can't get in or out when you are on the road camping. Good Luck!

If it is a FIC Lock there is a recall on some of the locks. Do a search and you will find it. Call them if the key number isn't listed and they will double check because not all the lock numbers made the posted list. If it listed, they will send you free replacements.

No, but I've been considering an electronic combination lock for mine.
