The short answer

NHTSA received Starcraft RV, Inc.’s report on Nov 7, 2013. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 21, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

If the roof abruptly closes, there is an increased risk of personal injury.

Starcraft RV is recalling certain model year 2013 Starcraft RT and Comet pop-up camping trailers manufactured August 2, 2010, through August 9, 2012.

In these vehicles, if a component failure occurs in the roof lifter system, the failure may cause the roof to abruptly collapse to the closed position.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
