Bolts Securing Suspension Spring May Be Too Long

NHTSA #20V391000 · Suspension — Multiple Axle · NHTSA notice

Reported July 2, 2020 · Airstream, Inc.

Potentially affected: 145 vehicles

Repair completion: 75.86% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Owners notified August 26, 2020

Defect description

Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain model year 2020-2021 Airstream Atlas and Interstate motorhomes equipped with VB suspension systems. The lock portion of the countersink bolts attaching the VB Suspension system to the vehicle may be too long preventing the panhard rod bracket from fully contacting the springs, resulting in bolts absorbing the load instead of the bracket.

Safety consequence

If the bolts carry the load rather than the bracket, it can cause them to break, affecting the vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the suspension bolts, free of charge. This recall began August 26, 2020. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505.

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.

ODI #11705150

Incident: May 17, 2023 · Filed: December 15, 2025

I am the owner of a 2020 Airstream Atlas motorhome (VIN [XXX] ). The vehicle has a recurring and unresolved slide-out defect that presents a serious safety hazard. While driving at highway speeds, the slide-out repeatedly disengaged and extended approximately 2–3 inches, triggering alarms and forcing me to pull over multiple times to reset the system. This occurred on numerous occasions during a long trip and posed a danger to myself and other motorists. The slide-out defect was documented previously under the prior owner at low mileage and was not permanently repaired. Despite extended repair attempts, the condition persists. After operating the vehicle with this unresolved slide-out defect, structural cracking appeared in the body/roof area of the motorhome. The manufacturer, Airstream, has declined warranty coverage for the cracking despite a formal claim submission. The vehicle has experienced excessive downtime for repairs, no loaner was provided, and the safety defect has not been resolved. I am concerned that the slide-out failure compromises the structural integrity of the motorhome and creates an unsafe condition during normal driving.
