What's wrong?

The exterior kitchen stove on the 2011 Starcraft Travel Star uses the trailer's LP gas system to feed fuel to the burner. That system includes gas lines, fittings, and stove connections that are supposed to stay sealed while the appliance is in use or shut off. A leak test checks those joints for escaping LP gas after assembly.

On the affected Travel Star Series 299BHS trailers, Starcraft found that the exterior kitchen stove was not being tested for LP leaks during routine inspection. The defect is the missing inspection step, not a specific broken part named in the recall. Without that test, a loose fitting or unsealed connection at the exterior stove can leave the factory without being caught.

There is no warning sign before failure. Because the issue is a missed leak test, an owner cannot know from the model year alone whether the exterior kitchen stove connection was checked.

Not every 2011 Starcraft Travel Star trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

An LP gas leak near an ignition source can start a fire, causing injury or death. Keep ignition sources away if you suspect an LP leak, stop using the LP system, and contact a Starcraft dealer for repair guidance before using the trailer again. Repair will be free at any franchised Starcraft dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Starcraft Travel Star is included in this recall.
  2. Call Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787 if you never received the owner notice.
  3. Ask a franchised Starcraft dealer to inspect the exterior-kitchen LP gas stove and complete the free LP leak-test repair.
  4. Reference recall number 10V552 when you call the dealer or Starcraft customer service.
  5. Avoid using the exterior-kitchen stove until the LP gas leak inspection and repair are complete.

What happens at the repair

Starcraft's source remedy says dealers repair the affected trailer free of charge, but it does not identify a specific part replacement or repair time. The known issue is the exterior kitchen stove and LP gas leak testing. Once the dealer repair is available, a Starcraft technician will address the exterior kitchen stove and LP gas system issue covered by the recall, with parts and labor covered. Ask the service desk to confirm the recall work tied to the exterior kitchen before leaving the trailer for service.
