Starcraft RV TT AR-One Recall 15V258: Wrong tire size on label can cause towing instability

NHTSA campaign 15V258, reported May 1, 2015, 36 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2016 Starcraft Launch and AR-One travel trailers, built between March 31 and April 20, 2015, may have a Federal Certification Label that lists the wrong tire size. The label shows ST205/75R14C, but the correct size is LT235/75R15C. The label does not meet federal labeling requirements.

If an owner or service provider installs a tire based on the incorrect label, the wrong tire may wear excessively and can cause the trailer to become unstable while towing, which increases the risk of a crash.

Owners can have a new, corrected label installed by a dealer free of charge. Starcraft will notify affected owners, or you can contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787, referencing recall number 9902239. You can also check your trailer's VIN for open recalls.
