DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
Posted on: 2019-05-28
Description
Airstream, inc. (airstream) is recalling certain 2017-2020 basecamp trailers. The tire placard is lacking the trailer's spare tire information. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 110, tire selections and rims.
Consequence
The lack of information on the tire placard may lead an owner to unintentionally install the wrong size spare tire, affecting the vehicle control and handling, increasing the risk of crash.
Corrective Action
Airstream will notify owners, and will provide corrected labels, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin july 23, 2019. Owners may contact airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111 extension 7401 or 7411.

DEFECT #2 - TRAILER HITCHES
Posted on: 2019-10-22
Description
Airstream, inc. (airstream) is recalling certain 2019-2020 sport, nest, flying cloud, international serenity, international signature, classic, globetrotter and tommy bahama trailers and 2020 basecamp, bambi and caravel trailers. Due to improper welding, the demco ball coupler installed on the travel trailers may not provide enough clamping force on the tow ball, potentially causing the coupler to separate from the tow ball.
Consequence
If the coupler separates from the tow ball, the trailer can detach from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Airstream will notify owners, and will send a temporary use adaptor that can be slipped over the ball portion of the coupler to allow owners to tow their trailers. For the final remedy, dealers will add a shim plate to the backside of the ball coupler clamp to put it in position to apply the required clamping force on the tow ball, free of charge. The recall began november 13, 2019. Owners may contact airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111 extension 7401 or 7411.
