Starcraft RV is recalling approximately 15 of its 2025 Autumn Ridge travel trailers because the safety chains are not strong enough to support the vehicle's weight. The installed chains are rated for 7,600 lbs, but the trailer's actual weight rating is 7,995 lbs. Dealers will install new, correctly rated safety chains free of charge. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
If the trailer were to detach from the tow vehicle, the underrated safety chains could fail and break. This would allow the trailer to separate completely from the towing vehicle while in motion, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Installation of new, correctly rated safety chains by a dealer.
The installed safety chains are rated at 7,600 lbs. and the actual Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is 7,995 lbs.
