Defect

StarCraft RV (StarCraft) is recalling certain 2017 Starcraft AR-One MAXX, Autumn Ridge SCS, Travel Star EXP, 2018-2021 Autumn Ridge Outfitter, 2017-2019 Autumn Ridge, Launch Ultra Lite, 2018-2019 Avalon, GPS, Launch Outfitter, 2019 Mossy Oak Lite, 2019-2020 Mossy Oak, Mossy Oak Ultra Lite, 2018 Solstice, 2017-2018 Solstice Super Lite, 2018-2020 Telluride, and 2019-2021 Super Lite travel trailers and fifth wheels equipped with a Winntec model 6020 two-stage propane regulator. The regulator may fail, causing an increase in propane pressure.

Consequence

Increased propane pressure can enlarge the flames in gas appliances, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the regulator and test the propane system for leaks, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 3, 2021. Owners may contact Starcraft RV customer service at 1-800-945-4787.

16V669000OtherSeptember 15, 2016 · 40 units

Defect

Starcraft RV (Starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2017 AR-ONE MAXX LE trailers, model 19BHLE, manufactured August 25, 2016, to September 6, 2016. The Federal label on the affected vehicles states that the trailers are built with two axles, each with a 2500 pound capacity, however, the vehicles are only built with one 2500 pound capacity axle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Consequence

The trailer would be overloaded if the operator goes by the listed axle capacity, possibly resulting in axle or tire failure, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Starcraft has notified the dealers who have the trailers quarantined and will provide them with a corrected Federal label, free of charge. The recall began September 19, 2016. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787. Starcraft's number for this recall is 9902319.

16V538000OtherJuly 19, 2016 · 194 units

Defect

The affected vehicles may be equipped with a Federal Label with incorrect tire information, and as a result, the owner could replace the tire with an incorrect size. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Consequence

If the tire is replaced with an incorrect tire size, vehicle handling could be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected Federal and Tire label, free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2016. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787. Starcraft's number for this recall is 9902307.
