What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect could result in a crash leading to property damage, injury, or death, which aligns with the rubric criteria for 'Severe' (significant injury/property-damage reports or potential for serious harm).

Plain-English summary

Starcraft RV, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 Lexion and Emblem fifth wheel travel trailers. The recall addresses a defect in the remote activation module for the leveling jack. In the presence of moisture, this module may activate autonomously without the use of the remote control.

If the jack were to activate while the vehicle is being towed, it could result in a crash leading to property damage, injury, or death. The source text does not report any specific incidents of injury or death associated with this defect.

Dealers will install a relay which will prevent the remote module from self-activating in the presence of moisture. The safety recall is expected to begin during February 2010. Owners may contact Starcraft at 1-800-945-4787 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
