The listed axle capacity is incorrect

PhotoStarcraft RV is recalling 40 model year 2017 AR-ONE MAXX LE trailers, model 19BHLE, manufactured August 25, 2016, to September 6, 2016.

The federal label on the vehicles states that the trailers are built with two axles, each with a 2500 pound capacity, however, the vehicles are only built with one 2500 pound capacity axle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The trailer would be overloaded if the operator goes by the listed axle capacity, possibly resulting in axle or tire failure, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Starcraft has notified the dealers who have the trailers quarantined and will provide them with a corrected federal label, free of charge. The recall began September 19, 2016.

Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787. Starcraft's number for this recall is 9902319.
