What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (loose steps) that poses a risk of injury from falling, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Starcraft RV is recalling certain model year 2016 Launch Ultra Lite trailers, model 31BHT, manufactured between June 23, 2015, and September 29, 2015. The recall involves 26 vehicles in total.
The entry steps on these trailers may have been installed without using the proper bolts. This defect could result in the steps loosening or separating from the trailer. If the steps drop when weight is applied, it may cause the user to fall, increasing their risk of injury.
Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the step installation and correct the mounting as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 25, 2016. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
