What's wrong?
The federal certification label on a 2016 Starcraft Ar-One or Launch travel trailer is the sticker that identifies key compliance information for the trailer. It includes the tire size the trailer was built to use, so an owner, tire shop, or dealer can match replacement tires to the trailer as configured.
On the affected trailers, Starcraft printed the wrong tire size on that label. The label lists ST205/75R14C tires, but trailers built with the Extreme Package use LT235/75R15C tires. The problem came from incorrect data entered into the label-printing system for those Extreme Package units, so the sticker does not match the tires installed on the trailer.
There is no warning sign before failure because this is a labeling error, not a part that wears out or breaks. The issue shows up when someone reads the certification label and sees the wrong tire size for the trailer.
Who's affected?
Covers both Ar-One and Launch trailers from the same model year, with the certification or placard label as the shared component.

|---|---|
| 2016 Starcraft Launch | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 36 |
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?
Wrong tire-label information can lead an owner to install the wrong tire. That can cause excessive tire wear and instability while towing, increasing the risk of a crash. Before towing, confirm the tire size and load information with a Starcraft dealer and schedule the label replacement. Repair is free at any franchised Starcraft dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016 Starcraft Ar-One or Launch travel trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Starcraft dealer to schedule the free corrected-label installation, which fixes the wrong tire-size information tied to tire wear and towing instability.
- Bring the recall notice if Starcraft mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V258 when you call.
- Confirm the tire size on the trailer and installed tires before towing until the corrected label is installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Starcraft technician installs a new corrected Federal Certification Label so the trailer lists the actual tire size instead of the wrong size shown on the original label. The recall repair is free, including the replacement label and labor. If you already paid for a related label correction before the recall notice, Starcraft has a general reimbursement plan on file for documented expenses. Bring repair paperwork and payment proof to the dealer or contact Starcraft customer service to ask how to submit the claim.
