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.
