Recall campaignsA 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.

15V671000

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER

Oct 19, 2015
224 units potentially affected
The defect: Starcraft RV (Starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Launch Ultra Lite travel trailers, model 28BHS JU, manufactured from October 31, 2013, through October 1, 2015. The affected trailers are equipped with a Happy Jack bed that will try to lift up too far, damaging the bed's brackets and motor.
The risk: Damage to the bed's brackets and motor may cause the bed to break and possibly fall onto anyone that may be under it, increasing their risk of injury.
The remedy: Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will reposition the bed's brackets so that it will not lift up too far, free of charge. The recall began on December 3, 2015. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787. Starcraft's recall campaign number is 9902267.

36 units potentially affected
The defect: Starcraft is recalling certain model year 2014 Launch Ultra Light travel trailers manufactured April 1, 2013, through April 10, 2013. An incorrect cargo carrying capacity is printed on the RV Trailer Cargo Carrying Capacity Label and the Tire and Loading Information Placard. Thus, the trailers fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims for Passenger Cars."
The risk: The vehicle could be loaded with the incorrect amount of cargo resulting in overloading of the tires which may lead to tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will replace the labels. The recall began during July 2013. Owners may contact Starcraft at 1-800-945-4787.

What a recall is

Safety recall
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.
Safety investigation
NHTSA 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.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
