What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain 2022 Airstream Classic, Flying Cloud, Pottery Barn, 2022-2023 International, and Globetrotter travel trailers. The manual step may collapse due to the fastener screw pulling through the washer.

The risk

The step could collapse while in use, increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the old washer and install a Loctite thread locker, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 15, 2022. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111 ext. 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.nhtsa.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.
