Incident: July 17, 2018 · Filed: August 1, 2018

OUR OVERHEAD CABINET IN THE GALLERY AREA FELL DOWN WHILE TRAVELING. WE ARE UNSURE OF EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS IS A KNOWN SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT NOT RECALL AND WE WERE NOT CONTACTED TO HAVE REPAIRED. IT WOULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED A PERSON IF WE HAD BEEN IN THE CAMPER WHEN IT FELL AND WOULD HAVE CRUSHED OUR SMALL CHILDREN. WE FEEL LIKE AIRSTREAM SHOULD HAVE TO NOTIFY ALL OWNERS OF GLOBETROTTERS TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED.
