Summary

Starcraft RV, Inc. "Starcraft" is recalling certain model year 2014 Comet BK, BW, BX, and BY recreational vehicles manufactured August 22, 2013, through December 10, 2013. On the affected vehicles, the certification label incorrectly identifies the load range of the tires. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, "Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars."

Consequence

An inaccurate label may result in the installation of replacement tires with an insufficient load range which may lead to sudden tire failure and an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy

All affected trailers are quarantined in dealer inventory. Starcraft will send corrected labels to those dealers. The recall began on January 20, 2014. Owners may contact Starcraft Customer Service at 1-800-945-4787.

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.
