2007 Starcraft 11RT & 2007 Starcraft 13RT + 1 more recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain camping trailers equipped with dexter chassis frames, the frames were "notched" to accommodate the fitting of the coupler. It is believed that the frames could be weakened in this area.
💥 The risk
A cracked frame CAN cause the frame to bow downward increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Starcraft is working with dexter chassis to repair these frames. Dexter will weld add a steel reinforcement underneath the coupler and over the notched area of frame, thus making this area stronger. The recall began on june 8, 2007. Owners may contact dexter at 1-800-669-7681 or starcraft at 260-593-2550.
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.)
