Airstream, Inc.: Equipment › Recreational Vehicle/Trailer › Lpg Systems › Lines and Fittings

Airstream, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Nov 17, 2015 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 904. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.

The defect

Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain model year 2016 Classic, Flying Cloud, International, Sport, Eddie Bauer, and Land Yacht recreational trailers manufactured August 3, 2015, to November 13, 2015, and equipped with Auto Changeover Propane Gas Regulators. Propane gas may leak into the plastic gas level indicator window of the regulator causing it to degrade and crack.

The risk

If the indicator window cracks, propane gas may leak out, increasing the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the propane regulator and the required hoses, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2015. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-937-596-6111 extension 7401 or 7411.

What this page is, and what to do next

A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.

This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 15V761000.
