Recall 13V654 covers 50 2014 Starcraft Comet trailers with tire-load labels that list the wrong load range. Correction is free at a franchised Starcraft dealer.
Starcraft is recalling 50 2014 Comet recreational vehicles under recall 13V654 because the certification label lists the wrong tire load range. That wrong label can lead an owner or shop to install replacement tires that cannot carry the required load, raising the risk of sudden tire failure and a crash; the Starcraft dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2014 Starcraft Comet is the information tag that tells an owner or service shop how the trailer was built and what tire specifications belong on it. For this recall, the important item is tire load range, which is the rating that tells how much weight a tire is designed to carry. The label is supposed to match the tires and rims selected for the trailer.
On the recalled Comet trailers, Starcraft listed the tire load range incorrectly on the certification label. The trailer itself is not being recalled because a tire has already broken. The problem is that the printed label gives the wrong specification, so an owner or shop using that label during tire service gets incorrect tire information.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners will not hear, feel, or see a label error while towing, so the issue shows up when the label is checked against the recall or during tire replacement.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific trailer.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect tire label can lead an owner or service shop to install replacement tires with too low a load rating. That can cause sudden tire failure and raise the risk of a crash. Repair will be free at any franchised Starcraft dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Starcraft Comet is included in this recall.
- Contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787 for the corrected certification label that fixes the tire-load-range information.
- Ask a franchised Starcraft dealer to confirm the corrected label is installed before replacing tires.
- Bring the recall notice if Starcraft sent one. If not, reference recall number 13V654 when you call.
- Use the tire load range shown on the corrected label when buying replacement tires.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, affected trailers in inventory are quarantined while Starcraft sends corrected certification labels to the dealer. The repair path is label replacement, not a mechanical tire or wheel repair: a Starcraft technician or dealer service staff installs the corrected label so the tire load range information matches the vehicle. Parts and labor are covered under the recall once the dealer process is open for your VIN.
