Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA 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.

Latest Oct 20, 2015
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

May 1, 2015
36 units potentially affected
The defect: Starcraft RV (Starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2016 Launch and AR-One travel trailers manufactured March 31, 2015, to April 20, 2015. The affected vehicles may be equipped with Federal Certification Labels that incorrectly list the tire size as ST205/75R14C when the actual size is LT235/75R15C. As such, these labels fail to comply with Federal Regulation Part 567.
The risk: If the operator installs an incorrect tire due to the wrong label information, excessive tire wear may result and may cause instability during towing, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will install a new corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on May 28, 2015. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787. Starcraft's number for this recall is 9902239.

Filed Oct 16, 2016
Fire reported

THE OUTSIDE LED STRIP LIGHT UNDER THE CAMPER AWNING SHORTED OUT AND STARTED SMOKING. LUCKILY, I WAS UNDER THE AWNING AS THIS STARTED HAPPENING, SO I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE LIGHT OFF QUICKLY, BEFORE THE AWNING CAUGHT ON FIRE. NO BREAKERS OR FUSES WERE TRIPPED. THIS IS ON A CAMPER I BOUGHT NEW FIVE MONTHS AGO AND HAVE ONLY USED ABOUT FIVE TIMES, AND WHEN I TAKE THIS IN FOR REPAIR, I'M SCARED I WILL GET AN IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT.
