What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Interstate Grand Tour Extended vehicles manufactured July 11, 2014, to September 1, 2015, and Interstate Lounge Extended vehicles manufactured November 21, 2014, to September 1, 2015. The affected vehicles may have electrical wiring connections that were not properly tightened and an interior wiring harness grounding wire that was installed incorrectly.

The risk

If the electrical connections are loose, or the ground wire is located incorrectly, the wiring may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will tighten all of the wiring connections and relocate the wiring harness ground wire, free of charge. The recall began on November 12, 2015. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-937-596-6111 extension 7401 or 7411.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
