Starcraft RT in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Starcraft RT is named on 20 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register

Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

The frame of certain camping trailers may have been notched (cut out), during vehicle assembly, to accommodate the fitting of a coupler. This could compromise the frame's strength and cause a crack to occur. As a result, the frame may bow downward, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will weld a steel reinforcement underneath the coupler and over the notched area of frame thus making this area stronger.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2007309.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Starcraft Starcraft, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Starcraft: 62 in the register, and 420 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2007.
