2013 Nomad Dispatch 16as0 problems, complaints & recalls

Defect: Nomad Global Communication Solutions (Nomad) is recalling certain model year 2013 Dispatch 14A, 20SS0 and 16AS0 vehicles manufactured July 2013 through October, 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.

Risk: If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Fix: Nomad will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began in March 2014. Owners may contact Nomad at 1-406-755-1721 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
