Posted on: 2015-03-31
Description
Airstream, inc. (airstream) is recalling certain model year 2015 interstate motorhomes manufactured from october 6, 2014, through march 25, 2015, and built on a mercedes-benz sprinter chassis. In the affected vehicles, the abutting wedge, a component attached to the door jamb to make opening the door easier after a severe frontal crash, may have been installed incorrectly.
Consequence
If a vehicle that has an incorrectly installed abutting wedge is involved in a severe frontal crash, a greater force may be necessary to open the doors, increasing the risk of injury.
Corrective Action
Mercedes benz will notify owners on behalf of airstream, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, correct the abutting wedge installation, free of charge. Owners were notified on april 10, 2015. Owners may contact airstream customer service at 1-937-596-6111 or owners may contact mercedes-benz sprinter customer service at 1-877-762-8267.
