Recall 09V222000
Structure › Body › Door — Starcraft · reported 16 Jun 2009 · 108 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
STARCRAFT IS RECALLING 108 MY 2009 TRAVEL STAR EXP TRAILERS. THE SCREWS USED TO ATTACH THE BUNK DOOR CABLES TO THE BUNK DOORS MAY BE OF INSUFFICIENT LENGTH, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE CABLE BECOMING DETACHED FROM THE DOOR WHILE THE TRAVEL TRAILER IS PARKED AND SET UP WITH THE BUNK DOORS OPEN.
The risk
IF THIS CONDITION IS NOT ADDRESSED, IT COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN INJURY. THERE IS NO POTENTIAL FOR THIS SITUATION TO OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING TOWED.
The fix
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SCREWS ATTACHING THE CABLES TO THE BUNK DOOR WITH LONGER FASTENERS. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT STARCRAFT AT 1-800-945-4787.
OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO <A HREF=HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV>HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV</A> .
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
