Most common Airstream International problem areas (all years)
Airstream International recalls
Risk: A D-ring that cracks or fails may allow wires to loosen, causing electrical arcing and increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: Hub separation from the wheel end may cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: The step could collapse while in use, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: Increased propane pressure can enlarge the flames in gas appliances, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: A draft can cause the flame to enter the non-sealed cabinet, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the coupler separates from the tow ball, the trailer can detach from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the two components touch, an electrical short may occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the spare tire and tire carrier become detached it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.
Risk: Without the correct tire and load information for the spare tire, the operator may install the incorrect tire or overload it, with either scenario increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: The incorrect information on the labels could cause an owner to overinflate the tires, possibly resulting in a tire blowout, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the indicator window cracks, propane gas may leak out, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the screws that secures the tank to the trailer fails, the tank can separate from the trailer becoming an object that can impact another vehicle on the road. There is also an increased risk of a fire.
Risk: If the electrical connection is loose it could cause excessive heat, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
Risk: Incorrect tire and tire pressure information on the label could lead to the installation of a tire with the wrong load rating and insufficient tire pressure. These conditions could result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: During replacement of the tires, a consumer could install the incorrect tire, potentially leading to property damage.
