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.

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.

The defect: Starcraft RV (Starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2016 Travel Star travel trailers, models G2JB5099-5101, JD5093-5094, JF5079, JG5067, and JN5065-5066; and Launch Ultra Lite travel trailers, models G2JM5112-5113, JR5187-5197, JS5179-5196, JT5533-5639, JU5121-5155, and JZ5128-5160, manufactured from August 7, 2015, through October 6, 2015. In the affected trailers, the water heater may be improperly wired such that the warning light will not illuminate to let the operator know that the gas is on but did not ignite.

Filed Aug 7, 2025

The contact owns a 2016 StarCraft Travel Star RV. The contact stated that the RV was designed with a flaw in the flooring. The contact stated that the RV manufacturer installed a Darco Poly-Flex flooring in the RV, which was designed to be used only in RVs that were intended to remain stationary, not for RVs that were being hauled or trailered while in use. The contact stated that the failure could allow moisture to rot the flooring, making the flooring unstable and unsafe. The contact stated that the RV was no longer safe to be used for travel. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V276000 (Structure); however, the VIN was not included. The local dealer was contacted. The RV was not diagnosed or repaired due to the warranty not being valid. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
