What's wrong?
The federal tire and rim label on these 2017 Starcraft Autumn Ridge, Comet, Launch, and Satellite trailers is supposed to tell an owner and dealer the correct tire size, rim size, and loading information for that trailer. That label is the quick reference used when replacing tires, matching rims, or checking that the trailer is set up with the correct equipment.
On trailers equipped with the extreme package, the label was printed with the wrong tire and rim size information. Starcraft traced the problem to label data being entered in the wrong place in its system, so the correct tire and rim data was not used when the labels were printed. The trailer hardware is not the described defect; the bad information is on the label.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will not feel a change while towing just because the label is wrong, so the practical clue is finding a tire or rim size on the trailer that does not match the federal label.
Who's affected?
Spans the Autumn Ridge, Comet, Launch, and Satellite trailer lines, all tied to the vehicle label.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific trailer.
What's the safety risk?
The risk comes from incorrect tire and rim information on the label. If an owner installs tires or rims outside the correct specifications, the unit has a higher crash risk. Before replacing tires or rims, use the corrected Starcraft label or have the dealer confirm the right specifications. Repair will be free at any franchised Starcraft dealer once available.
