The defect
On certain camping trailers equipped with dexter chassis frames, the frames were "notched" to accommodate the fitting of the coupler. it IS believed that the frames could be weakened in this area.
The risk
A cracked frame can cause the frame to bow downward increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Starcraft IS working with dexter chassis to repair these frames. dexter will weld add a steel reinforcement underneath the coupler and over the notched area of frame, thus making this area stronger. the recall began on june 8, 2007. owners may contact dexter at 1-800-669-7681 or starcraft at 260-593-2550.
