The problem
Certain model year 2011 starcraft travel star travel trailers manufactured from may 5, 2010, through august 12, 2010, are missing the intermediate side marker light. If the side marker is missing, vehicles over 30 feet in overall length do not conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
The risk
A missing required item of vehicle lighting equipment may reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Starcraft will notify owners and install the missing side marker light free of charge. The safety recall began on december 9, 2010. Owners may contact starcraft at 1-800-945-4787.
