The problem
Starcraft RV (Starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2016 Solstice and Travel Star fifth wheel trailers manufactured July 31, 2015, to September 14, 2015 and equipped with Atwood on demand water heaters. The affected water heaters have a water and gas valve that may cause the water heater to overheat the water in the hot water supply tap.
The risk
The overheating of the water may result in the release of steam, possibly causing the operator to scald themselves, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Starcraft will notify owners, and dealers will install a water flow adjustment stop key that prevents the recall condition from occurring, free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2016. Owners may contact Starcraft customer service at 1-800-945-4787. Starcraft's number for this recall is 9902282.
