2004 Airstream Classic Owner Complaints

WE HAD OUR FIRST TRIP TODAY FROM HOME INTO LAS CRUCES, NM. PRIOR TO LEAVING HOME, WE CHECKED ALL THE TIRES, AND THE PRESSURES WERE ALL 65 PSI. TIRES HAVE ABOUT 28000 MILES, AND TRAILER IS 19 MONTHS OLD. WE TOOK OUR TRAILER INTO NORTH DALLAS RV ON SEP 28 FOR THE RECALL. WE HAD THEM ACCOMPLISH THAT AND SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS. TODAY, WE HAD THE SCARE OF OUR LIFE. ABOUT 250 MILES FROM HOME, WE FELT A VIBRATION. I NOTICED RUBBER COMING FROM THE STREET SIDE. TURNS OUT THE ENTIRE FRONT STREET TIRE CAME APART. THE OUTER TREAD CAME COMPLETELY OFF, SEPARATING FROM THE SIDE WALLS. IT CAUSED ONLY MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE MOLDING. TIRE WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. WE REPLACED THE TIRE AND CONTINUED. WE FILLED UP THE TRUCK IN VAN HORN, TX, AND STOPPED AT A REST STOP ABOUT 50 MILES EAST OF EL PASO. ALL SEEMED OK THERE. WE DROVE INTO LAS CRUCES, NM. MARY SAID THERE WAS A FUNNY CLICKING SOUND ON THE RIGHT SIDE. WHEN WE PULLED INTO OUR SPOT, MARY SAW THAT THE ENTIRE REAR CURB SIDE TIRE DISINTEGRATED SOMEWHERE IN THE LAST 90 MILES. WE FELT NO VIBRATIONS OR ANY OTHER INDICATION THAT THE TIRE WENT BAD. THERE'S LITTLE BUT WHEEL AND SIDEWALL LEFT. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. *TR
