What's wrong?
The LP gas bottle on a 2019 Starcraft Telluride is held in place by a strap and buckle assembly inside the trailer's propane storage area. The bottle supplies propane for trailer systems that use gas, so the holder's job is simple: keep the tank secured while the trailer is parked or moving.
On affected Telluride trailers, the supplier used the wrong die stamp when making the strap. That stamping problem lets the strap separate from the buckle. Once the strap comes apart, the LP gas bottle is no longer held where it belongs, and the propane tank can shift inside the storage area instead of staying secured.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will not have a warning light or normal towing symptom that proves the strap is about to separate. The issue is physical hardware, so the practical clue is an unsecured or loose propane bottle when the compartment is inspected.

What should I do?

- Contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787 to confirm repair instructions for recall number 18V362.
- Ask a franchised Starcraft dealer about the free propane-tank securing-strap replacement that keeps the LP tank fastened to the trailer.

What happens at the repair
Starcraft has identified the repair for the propane tank strap. Once the dealer repair is available, a Starcraft technician will replace the strap that secures the LP gas bottle with a new strap that has the correct crimping. That work is free under the recall. Until the strap is replaced, ask the dealer how to handle the trailer if the propane bottle is not held firmly in place.

Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 18V362. If it is, contact a franchised Starcraft dealer and ask for the propane tank securing strap replacement. Reference Starcraft recall number 9902385 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair safety defects at no cost. Starcraft dealers will replace the propane tank securing strap with a new strap that has the correct crimping, free of charge.
Is it safe to tow my Starcraft Telluride before the repair?
