Summary: On camping trailers equipped with lift systems provided by goshen stamping company and winches supplied by dutton-lainson company. The winches included in the roof lifter systems of some of these trailers have an inadequate weld to the gear, so that a raised roof could descend rapidly.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect the lifter system and replace any defective winch. Owner notification began February 7, 2002.

Has your Starcraft been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Starcraft dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
