Details

What's wrong: The federal label on the affected vehicles states that the trailers are built with two axles, each with a 2500 pound capacity, however, the vehicles are only built with one 2500 pound capacity axle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."

Why it matters: The trailer would be overloaded if the operator goes by the listed axle capacity, possibly resulting in axle or tire failure, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Starcraft has notified the dealers who have the trailers quarantined and will provide them with a corrected federal label, free of charge. The recall began September 19, 2016.
