What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Starcraft RV is recalling certain model year 2016 Autumn Ridge travel trailers manufactured March 27, 2015, to September 22, 2015. The affected vehicles have an incorrectly built frame that may result in inadequate clearance between the wheel and the wheel well.

The risk

Inadequate clearance between the wheel and the wheel well may cause premature tire wear or possible tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

The remedy for this recall is still under development. The recall began on November 17, 2015. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787. Starcraft's number for this recall is 9902258.

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.
