AIRSTREAM · Model Report
Showing safety data for the 2007 model year only.
Airstream is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Airstream Classic recreational vehicles manufactured between May 2005 and April 2009. The brake hose may flex near the fitting on the brake assembly and lead to hose fatigue. Also, during suspension travel, the brake hose may rub on the underside of the trailer.
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.
AIRSTREAM IS RECALLING 4,450 MY 2004-2007 SAFARI, INTERNATIONAL, INTERSTATE, LAND YACHT, CLASSIC, MY 2004-2006 SKYDECK, AND MY 2006 PARKWAY TRAVEL TRAILERS AND MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH A TWO-DOOR REFRIGERATOR MANUFACTURED BY THE DOMETIC CORPORATION. THE REFRIGERATOR MAY HAVE A DEFECT IN THE BOILER TUBE. PRESSURIZED COOLANT SOLUTION COULD BE RELEASED INTO AN AREA WHERE AN IGNITION SOURCE (GAS FLAME) IS PRESENT.
ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH DEXTER AXLES, THE DISC BRAKE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLTS MAY STRIP. INSUFFICIENT CLAMP LOAD BETWEEN CALIPER AND YOKE CAN CAUSE THE CALIPER TO DISASSEMBLE AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE TRAILERS BRAKING SYSTEM.
I PURCHASED A NEW AIRSTREAM TRAVEL TRAIER WITH AN ELECTRONIC HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKE SYSTEM. THE UNIE IS A PLASTIC BRAKE UNIT RESEVOIR WHICH ITSELF CONTAINES AND ECLOSED ELECTRONIC UNIT. THE SEAL BETWEEN UNITS FAILED LEAKING BRAKE FLUID INTO THE ELECTRIC UNIT,CAUSED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AND BURNED THE ELECTRIC CONNECTION LEAVINGME WITH A NEW 10,000LB TRAILER AND NO BRAKES. ITIS A DESIGN FAILURE MY REAPIRMAN FOUND UPON FIBEROPITIC INSPECTION OF THE FAILED UNIT. I HAVE VERBABAL REPORTS OF OTHER FAILURES. AIRSTREAM NEED TO STOP SELLING THESE UNITS UNTIL THIS IS CORRECTED.
