In the affected trailers, the water heater may be improperly wired such that the warning light will not illuminate to let the operator know that the gas is on but did not ignite.

Remedy

Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will correct the water heater wiring, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787. Starcraft's number for this recall is 9902261.
