2022 Starcraft Travel Trailers: Electric Awning Seam Defect

Starcraft is recalling certain 2022 Autumn Ridge Outfitter, Super Lite, and Super Lite Maxx travel trailers because the electric retractable awning's welded seam may separate, causing the awning to drop.

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 addresses a potential structural defect in the awning mechanism with no reported injuries or deaths. The hazard is theoretical—a welded seam may separate and cause the awning to drop—which per the severity rubric limits classification to High (3) rather than Severe.

Plain-English summary

Starcraft RV is recalling certain 2022 model year Autumn Ridge Outfitter, Super Lite, and Super Lite Maxx travel trailers equipped with electric retractable awnings. The electric awning has a welded seam on the fabric that may separate during operation.

If the welded seam separates, the awning may drop or extend beyond its normal operating position. This can increase the risk of injury to occupants or bystanders near the awning.

Owners should stop using the awning and contact a Starcraft dealer for inspection and repair. Dealers will inspect and repair, or if necessary, replace the awning fabric at no cost. Owners can reach Starcraft customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Owner notification letters were mailed August 31, 2022.
