Starcraft RV Recalls 2025 Autumn Ridge Travel Trailers Due to Safety Chain Defect

Starcraft RV is recalling 2025 Autumn Ridge travel trailers because the installed safety chains are rated below the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, creating a risk of trailer separation.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (safety chain rating below GVWR) that can lead to trailer separation and crashes, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Starcraft RV is recalling certain 2025 Autumn Ridge travel trailers. The recall addresses a defect in the installed safety chains, which are rated at 7,600 lbs., while the actual Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the trailer is 7,995 lbs.

This discrepancy can cause the safety chains to fail, allowing the tow vehicle to separate from the trailer. Separation of the trailer and tow vehicle increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will install new safety chains free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 8, 2025. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-283-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
