Plain-English summary

Starcraft RV, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 Launch Ultra Lite travel trailers manufactured between April 1, 2013, and April 10, 2013. The recall involves 36 units. The defect is an incorrect cargo carrying capacity printed on the RV Trailer Cargo Carrying Capacity Label and the Tire and Loading Information Placard. This error means the trailers do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims for Passenger Cars."

The incorrect labels could cause owners to load the vehicle with the wrong amount of cargo. This may result in overloading the tires, which can lead to tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect labels. The recall began in July 2013. Owners may contact Starcraft at 1-800-945-4787 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
