The problem
Airstream is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 classic travel trailers manufactured from march 2005 through april 2009 and equipped with hydraulic brake controller by active technologies. It is possible that the brake controller can fail unexpectedly causing the brakes on the trailer to lock up or to fail completely.
The risk
The locking of the brakes or brake failure could result in a loss of vehicle control that could result in a crash and possible serious injury.
