What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Starcraft is recalling certain model year 2013 Autumn Ridge AR-One travel trailers manufactured from September 6, 2012, through October 17, 2012. These travel trailers have wire connections in the electrical box that may prevent the wires from being tightened properly.

The risk

Loose electrical wiring connections could cause excessive heat which could lead to fire, injury, or death.

The remedy

Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will relocate specific wires in the electrical box to allow the wires to be sufficiently tightened at their connections. The safety recall began on December 21, 2012. Owners may contact Starcraft at 1-800-945-4787.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
