Transport Canada recalls

Label#2012321September 27, 2012
26 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the Compliance Label does not contain the correct tire size information. The label may incorrectly indicate 13 inch when 14 inch tires were installed, and vice versa. As a result, the vehicle may inadvertently be fitted with incorrect replacement tires. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
Other#2011323August 30, 2011
277 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the spare tire carrier bracket may fatigue and fail. This could allow the spare tire and carrier to separate from the vehicle. Should this occur while the vehicle is underway, the spare tire assembly could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing property damage and/personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a reinforcement bracket to the spare tire carrier.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS#12V471000September 27, 2012
Starcraft RV (Starcraft) is recalling certain model year 2012 and 2013 AR-One travel trailers that may have an inaccurate load carrying capacity label. Due to the inaccurate label, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Risk: An inaccurate label may lead to the tire being replaced with one of an incorrect rim diameter. Two different diameter tires would reduce the handling ability of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Starcraft will notify owners and will provide a corrected label free of charge. The safety recall began on October 17, 2012. Owners may contact Starcraft RV at 1-800-945-4787.
