I PURCHASED, NEW, A 2008 STARCRAFT RV IN FEB 08, MOD 215DBB S/N 2190878 WITH POWER KING TOWMAXS/T11 TIRES INSTALLED; DOT 5XHN27-1806. ONE S/N BEING 9A06050697 (4 TIRES). WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, CRACKS STARTED APPEARING IN THE SIDE WALLS OF ALL 4 TIRES, AT ABOUT A YEAR THERE WERE MAJOR CRACKS IN ALL TIRES.ENQUIRES TO THE SELLING DEALER AND TO STARCRAFT HAD THE SAME RESULTS; THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE BUT THE TIRE MANUFACTURE WAS. IN MY OPINION THE FAULT LIES WITH STARCRAFT FOR INSTALLING THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES ON A NEW TRAILER. I BELIEVE THAT THEY MAY HAVE AN IN HOUSE Q.A. PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

What owners reported
Newest filingsTL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 STARCRAFT STARSTREAM 24 QB TRAILER. THIS IS AN RV TRAILER THAT HOOKS TO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AXLE WHERE THE TIRES ARE LOCATED IS GRINDING OFF THE RUBBER. AS A RESULT, HE MUST REPLACE THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND THE OTHERS NEED REPLACING AS WELL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE AXLE WAS MADE BY LIPPER AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH LIPPER TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. HE TOOK THE TRAILER TO LIPPER, BUT THEY FOUND NO FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT APPLICABLE.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
