Description
Starcraft rv (starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2015 18qb ar-one travel trailers manufactured june 18, 2014, to june 23, 2014. The affected vehicles may have an incorrect cargo carrying capacity (ccc) label. As such, these trailers fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, tire selection and rims and motor home/recreation vehicle trailer load carrying capacity information for motor vehicles with a gvwr of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less.
Consequence

Corrective Action
None of the affected travel trailers have been sold. Starcraft dealers will replace the incorrect label with new labels showing the correct information, free of charge. The recall began in july 2014. Owners may contact starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787.
