I just had a nice woman answer my call and questions... no button chasing.

Thank you to the OP. I was hopping for a door latch this past weekend. Found one on Ebay

Fastec Travel Trailer RV camper Door Latch Handle Lock Black | eBay

didn't buy it yet. Just checked the manufacturer part # 43610-06. Im guessing the o6 after the dash refers to the year it was manufactured. Hope they don't get stuck with a bunch of door latches they can't sell.


43610-06

You do know that the recall is limited to a few keycodes and that there is a remote chance of failure for only a few of those? Go ahead and buy it, check the keycode, if it is the wrong keycode, get a free replacement before installation!
Hey! Everything put together sooner or later falls apart!^_^

BTW... My first fiberglass trailer was a 1973 LoveBug, look here....

Lol, that's the truth. Even me (falling apart, that is)!

Just checked my key code. Not on the list.

Very friendly, courteous service.

This issue may be floating around a while. Could we keep a list of codes that have been checked, with no owner info, so folks who find this later have a quick reference?

Great idea!

I spoke with one of the parts folks at Casita today. They received notice from the Fastec people that NO CASITAS have locks that will be recalled.

Here is a link to how to find your model number and key code number.
Frequently Asked Questions

Note that in our case, the model number was on a piece of paper previously glued inside the lock but it had come loose and was sitting inside the lock when we unscrewed it.

When putting the backplate back on, be sure to align the D shaped hole in the red lever with its pin in the lock. And be sure the black tongue on the inside lock handle is on the correct side of the lock bolt. Then position and tighten the 4 screws in an alternating pattern.

When we picked up our Escape, they told us to return the key for the deadbolt to the 12 o'clock position before removing it when locking the deadbolt. There is a soft click when it gets back to the 12 o'clock position after locking the deadbolt.

I spoke with Fastec this morning and got the list of key codes that are affected by the recall. They all start with HF and the numbers are:
304, 307, 308, 311, 313 315, 316, 320, 322,323, 328, 331, 335,
339, 342, 343, 347, 349

Hope that helps!

It DOES help Fran... THANKS! :dance

Well I lucked out and my number is in the lot from the purchase from AutoTruck on Ebay. Will see what happens when I try to get it fixed. I think this link from Ebay was from Jared or Ryand and I know Slav bought one but I could be wrong.

I called their 800 number and it went to VM. I left a message so will see where we go from here.

Mine is 342 or #$@ if you do upper case :)

I wonder how they determined that only these numbers are affected? Mine is "348", which is not on the list but falls right between the last two (347 and 349). :confused::confused:

www.fastecindustrial.com sells these locks for about $26.00. Looks like they take 10 min. to install.

I looked at the site and for 60 bucks you can buy one of each key and have every combo. Cool!!! Of course everyone owns a CH751 so not a big deal.
