FIC Fastec Cylinder Recall Lock - Mr Locksmith

FIC Trailer Lock Recall 

Manufacturers should always keep the welfare of the customers in mind. While it is a big hassle to recall a particular product, it is the most logical thing to do to avoid compromising the safety of people who bought and use it. Although there was a mistake that was overlooked before the release of the product in the market, a recall can still salvage the reputation of a manufacturer. It is still the responsible thing to do in such cases.

In cases of locks, recalls are done with accordance to the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. One instance of lock recall was from Fastec Industrial Corp. It involves the trailer locks sold from 2006 to April of 2013. There is a problem with the deadbolt cylinders which may compromise the safety of its users. Therefore, the attention of FIC trailer lock users are needed so they can check whether their FIC locks are included in this recall or not.

Here are the things that you should do if your trailer lock is recalled:

  • – You can also call their toll free number, 800-837-2505 to request for a replacement.
  • – Answer the survey at the FIC official website.

These FIC locks are recalled because it opens even when it is not in the 12 o’clock position. This can be dangerous as it can be inconvenient. It may cause the lock to jam and that may cause accidents and hassles. In case that the lock’s deadbolt jams, people will not be able to get out of their trailers. This may force them to find other ways to get out and they may get hurt in the process.
