What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Starcraft RV (Starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Launch Ultra Lite vehicles manufactured June 17, 2014, to July 23, 2015. The furnaces equipped on the trailers may not have been secured properly and could separate from the exhaust.

The risk

Hazardous exhaust fumes could be released into the cabin area, sickening and injurying any occupants.

The remedy

Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the furnace, and if necessary secure the furnace to the floor platform, free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787. Starcraft's number for this recall is 9902246.

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.
