Defect. Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain 2018-2020 International, Sport, Flying Cloud, Classic, Tommy Bahama, Globetrotter, and Nest travel trailers. The forward end of the spare tire carrier may contact the ground while the trailer is moving possibly resulting in the carrier and spare tire separating from the vehicle.

Risk. If the spare tire and tire carrier become detached it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.

Remedy. Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will install corrected spare tire carrier brackets, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin June 28, 2019. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111, extension 7401 or 7411.

OUR OVERHEAD CABINET IN THE GALLERY AREA FELL DOWN WHILE TRAVELING. WE ARE UNSURE OF EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS IS A KNOWN SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT NOT RECALL AND WE WERE NOT CONTACTED TO HAVE REPAIRED. IT WOULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED A PERSON IF WE HAD BEEN IN THE CAMPER WHEN IT FELL AND WOULD HAVE CRUSHED OUR SMALL CHILDREN. WE FEEL LIKE AIRSTREAM SHOULD HAVE TO NOTIFY ALL OWNERS OF GLOBETROTTERS TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED.

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.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
