AFTER PULLING OFF I-75 IN KENTUCKY FOR A FUEL STOP THE FRONT SKYLIGHT COVER, MADE OF LEXAN AND 2 FOOT SQUARE CAME OFF THE ROOF. ALL SCREW HOLES HAD BROKEN OUT. HAD THIS COVER COME OFF ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE DONE DAMAGE TO ANY FOLLOWING VEHICLES. ON INSPECTION I ALSO FOUND THE REAR SKYLIGHT COVER WAS BREAKING LOOSE FROM THE TRAILER ROOF . I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANY DRIVER FOLLOWING AN AIRSTREAM TRAILER.*AK

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
