What's wrong?
The tire and federal certification labels on the 2016 Starcraft Ar-One tell an owner or service shop which tires belong on the trailer and what inflation pressure to use. Those labels are the quick reference for tire replacement, air pressure checks, and load setup. When the label is wrong, the trailer still looks normal, but the service information printed on it is not reliable.
On the recalled trailers, Starcraft entered the wrong tire data when setting up the labels. The label listed tire size 15D instead of the correct 16E, and listed 65 PSI instead of the correct 80 PSI. That points an owner or tire shop toward a lower rated setup than the trailer was built to use.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is the printed information itself, so an owner would not notice a noise, warning light, or change in towing feel before relying on the wrong tire size or pressure.

What's the safety risk?
Incorrect tire size or pressure can adversely affect trailer handling or lead to tire failure, which increases crash risk. Before replacing tires, match the corrected label for tire size and pressure, and avoid towing on tires that do not match the label. Repair is free at any franchised Starcraft dealer.
