The defect
Intercontinental Truck Body (ITB) is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Cube Vans manufactured May 28, 2010, through June 7, 2013 and equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
The risk
If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the cube van at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the pass through to the vehicle cab, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
ITB will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began in May 2014. Owners may contact ITB at 1-800-327-3349 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
