Thanks, Becky. I'll have to check it out today. As luck would have it, we just replaced the original door lock this yr. We don't have any of the listed key numbers, but I'll try to remove it in the 9 o'clock position just to see what happens.

THANKS SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS INFO!!
We purchased a 2014 Kodiak express in April and while locking it up in the driveway I pulled the key out in the wrong position!!! Big mistake. The door would not unlock and my husband had to crawl through the cargo hatch just to get in. All the while telling me that I don't know how to operate a key!!! >:( ARRGGG!!! >:(
Then he gets inside and can't open the door to get out without taking the lock apart! It really caused a LOT of aggravation! Wouldn't you think that being a registered owner, the manufacturer should notify us! I guess we have to just have to rely on each other, thanks to the forum and thanks again

Probably faster to buy a new lock. Mine still has not arrived.

Thank you for the heads up. Seems ours is part of this recall too. I have noticed it was a bit wonky ??? when I had tried to unlock the door, and I thought I just didn't know how to do it.

Has anyone received one yet?

I sent the request in late May and no new lock yet? there is not even a place on their website to send an email to check on it, and good luck calling the phone number.

Send an email here

ficweb@wescodist.com

saying you submitted the recall form back whenever, include all the same info they ask for on that recall form.

I received a response back the next day with an apology and they said they would ship the replacement out Monday.

Did anyone get their replacement locks?

I finally got mine late in the fall of 2014. So late that camper only had one more trip for the year. I just replaced it this week. The replacement process is easy and required only the special "lock and tool keys" that are sent with the new lock.

BUT had to go to the RV place near me for additional keys. It came with 2 keys, but we are a family of 3, so I went and had two more made. One works great the other Ehh, not so great. They did not charge me for the keys, so I am not going to make a big deal of it. And the ones from hardware store won't work. The just don't have the right "blanks". So if you haven't ordered your new lock yet, when you do, order some additional keys to go with it.
