Starcraft is recalling 135 model year 2011 travel trailers because cracked bolts may allow leveling jacks to detach from the frame.

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 if the jack comes loose while in motion, a crash, injury, or death may result, which aligns with the rubric criteria for significant injury or property-damage reports.

Plain-English summary

Starcraft RV, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Autumn Ridge, Autumn Ridge AR-One, and Lexion S-Lite travel trailers. These vehicles were manufactured between October 29, 2010, and January 27, 2011. The recall involves 135 units.

The defect involves bolts that attach the leveling jacks to the trailer frame, which may be cracked. If all of the bolts break, the jack could come loose from the frame. If the jack comes loose while the vehicle is in motion, a crash, injury, or death may result.

Dealers will replace the fasteners attaching the leveling jacks to the frame with more robust fasteners at no charge. The safety recall was expected to begin during May 2011. Owners may contact Starcraft at 1-800-945-4787 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
