Starcraft Recalls Recreational Trailers Due to Fire Extinguisher Defects
Starcraft RV is recalling specific recreational trailers because the installed Kidde fire extinguishers may clog, fail to discharge, or cause injury if the nozzle detaches.
What this means for you
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 risk-of-harm product (fire extinguisher) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for products with potential injury risk but no confirmed incidents.
Plain-English summary
Starcraft RV is recalling certain 2009-2016 recreational trailers, including models such as the StarCraft, Centennial, Homestead, Travel Star, Comet, AR-One, Launch, and Starflyer. The recall involves approximately 2,879 units equipped with specific Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' fire extinguishers.
The defect may cause the fire extinguishers to become clogged, preventing them from discharging as expected, or requiring excessive force to activate. In certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force to cause injury and render the product inoperable. If the extinguisher does not function properly during a fire, it can increase the risk of injury.
Starcraft will notify owners and instruct them to contact Kidde for a free replacement fire extinguisher. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787 or Kidde customer service at 1-855-262-3540 for more information.
