Owners notified February 15, 2017 · Vehicles built January 2, 2017 – January 16, 2017 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Airstream, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Flying Cloud, International, and Sport recreational trailers. The Federal Certification label and Tire Placards on these vehicles have incorrect information. The label was printed for ST225/75R15 Load Range E tires, but the vehicle has ST225/75R15 Load Range D tires. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims" and Part 567, "Certification."

Safety consequence

The incorrect information on the labels could cause an owner to overinflate the tires, possibly resulting in a tire blowout, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect label with a corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on February 15, 2017. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-937-596-6111, extension 7401 or 7411.

ODI #11496952

Incident: June 15, 2022 · Filed: December 11, 2022

Body separating from trailer framework due to forward attachment design-build defect in model 26U and other models featuring forward storage compartment; high potential for on-road detachment causing rig instability and swaying out of control. Currently in RV dealer shop for repair. Dealer states two other identical model trailers in work for same defect. Airstream owners report this defect in online forums and other sources-which can be accessed by internet search. Airstream has consistently refused to acknowledge this systemic and dangerous condition, frequently blaming owner misuse despite obvious widespread occurrence, and accepting repair responsibility only for units still under warranty. Airstream factory service at Jackson Center OH verified condition on our unit in June 2022 (noted invoice submitted).
