Recall 14V509 affects 12 2015 Starcraft 16RB travel trailers with incorrect tire-pressure labels. Label replacement is free at any franchised Starcraft dealer.
Starcraft is recalling 12 2015 16RB travel trailers equipped with the Extreme Package Option because the Federal ID label lists 80 psi cold tire pressure instead of the correct 50 psi. If an owner follows that label, a tire can blow out and increase crash risk; the Starcraft dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The Federal ID label on the 2015 Starcraft 16RB Launch travel trailer is the certification label that tells an owner or service shop the correct cold tire inflation pressure. On trailers with the Extreme Package Option, that label is part of the tire and load information used when setting tire pressure before a trip. It should point owners to the pressure Starcraft certified for the trailer.
On affected trailers, the label prints 80psi as the cold tire inflation pressure instead of the correct 50psi. The label itself is the defective part. If an owner follows the printed number, the tires are set above the correct pressure for this trailer, so the trailer lacks the tire and rim information required by the federal safety standard.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is printed on the label, so the detail to check is the tire-pressure number on the Federal ID label.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect tire-pressure label can lead an owner to inflate the tire to the wrong psi. That raises the risk of a tire blowout and a crash. Have the label replaced before using it for tire inflation. Repair will be free at any franchised Starcraft dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Starcraft 16RB is included in this recall.
- Contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787 to confirm the label-replacement status.
- Ask a franchised Starcraft dealer about the free Federal ID label replacement that corrects the tire-pressure information from 80 psi to 50 psi.
- Bring the recall notice if Starcraft mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V509 when you call.
- Set the tires to the correct 50 psi cold inflation pressure until the corrected label is installed.
What happens at the repair
The source remedy identifies a label replacement. Once the repair is available, a Starcraft technician removes the incorrect Federal ID label and installs a new label with the correct tire inflation pressure information. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. The work is focused on correcting the certification label, not replacing the tire, rim, or axle hardware.
