Starcraft recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Starcraft is recalling certain model year 2013 Autumn Ridge AR-One travel trailers manufactured from September 6, 2012, through October 17, 2012. These travel trailers have wire connections in the electrical box that may prevent the wires from being tightened properly.
What could happen
Loose electrical wiring connections could cause excessive heat which could lead to fire, injury, or death.
The fix
Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will relocate specific wires in the electrical box to allow the wires to be sufficiently tightened at their connections. The safety recall began on December 21, 2012. Owners may contact Starcraft at 1-800-945-4787.
