What this recall means for you
Certain trailers may have tire labels that list the wrong tire size and inflation pressure. This does not meet federal tire labeling requirements. If the tires are replaced with ones that match the incorrect label, the trailer's handling may be affected or the tires may fail, both of which increase the risk of a crash.
The manufacturer will notify owners and mail corrected labels free of charge. Owners who have questions can contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787, referencing recall number 9902260.
Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls, and if you have any tire or label concerns, have an authorized dealer review your trailer. Repairs covered by a recall are free at an authorized dealer.
