Recall 13V381000
Tires › Temporary/emergency Spare Tire — Starcraft · reported 21 Aug 2013 · 22 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Starcraft RV Inc. (Starcarft) is recalling certain model year 2014 Comet Camping Trailers manufactured September 18, 2012, through May 6, 2013. The spare tire bracket mounted on the rear wall is not secured sufficiently and could detach.
The risk
If the spare tire bracket detaches from the vehicle while it is being driven, it could become a road hazard increasing the risk of a vehicle crash or injury.
The fix
Starcraft will notify owners and dealers will add a metal strap to secure the spare tire bracket, free of charge. The recall began on September 26, 2013. Owners may contact Starcraft at 1-800-945-4787.
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.
