NHTSA campaign 15V495, reported August 6, 2015, 705 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain trailers may have a propane (LPG) furnace that was not secured properly to its floor platform. The furnace could separate from its exhaust connection, allowing hazardous exhaust fumes to enter the living area.

Exhaust leaking into the cabin can sicken and injure anyone inside the trailer. Owners should watch for signs of a problem and treat any suspected fume exposure seriously.

The repair is free. Dealers will inspect the furnace and, if needed, secure it to the floor platform at no cost. Owners can also contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787, and should check their VIN for any open recalls.
