Defect

Starcraft RV (Starcraft) is recalling certain 2018 Comet Mini, 2018-2019 GPS, Autumn Ridge Outfitter, Launch Ultra Lite, Launch Outfitter 7, Autumn Ridge, Launch Outfitter, Satellite and Avalon and 2019 Mossy Oak and Mossy Oak Lite travel trailers. The fuse/circuit breaker wiring between the battery and the converter may have bypassed the 30amp fuse, creating an unprotected circuit.

Consequence

In the event of an electrical short, an unprotected circuit can increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will install a fuse harness assembly to protect the circuit, free of charge. The recall began October 28, 2019. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787. Starcraft's number for this recall is 9902439.
