2001–2002 Starcraft 1706 & 2001–2002 Starcraft 2101 + 23 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
On camping trailers equipped with lift systems provided by goshen stamping company and winches supplied by dutton-lainson company. The winches included in the roof lifter systems of some of these trailers have an inadequate weld to the gear, so that a raised roof could descend rapidly.
💥 The risk
The rapidly descending roof could result in property damage or serious personal injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the lifter system and replace any defective winch. Owner notification began february 7, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact starcraft at 1-219-593-2550.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
