2014 Starcraft Comet recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
Starcraft RV Inc. (Starcarft) is recalling certain model year 2014 Comet Camping Trailers manufactured September 18, 2012, through May 6, 2013. The spare tire bracket mounted on the rear wall is not secured sufficiently and could detach.
💥 The risk
If the spare tire bracket detaches from the vehicle while it is being driven, it could become a road hazard increasing the risk of a vehicle crash or injury.
🔧 The fix
Starcraft will notify owners and dealers will add a metal strap to secure the spare tire bracket, free of charge. The recall began on September 26, 2013. Owners may contact Starcraft at 1-800-945-4787.
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.)
