What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where propane tanks may fall, posing a significant risk of fire and collision with other vehicles.

Plain-English summary

Airstream, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Land Yacht, Eddie Bauer, International, Flying Cloud, and Sport travel trailers manufactured between August 1, 2013, and February 4, 2015. The recall involves 3,345 vehicles.

The defect involves screws that secure the tray for the liquid propane (LP) tanks. These screws may fail, causing the LP tanks to fall from the trailer. If the tanks separate, they can become projectiles that impact other vehicles on the road, and there is an increased risk of fire.

Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will install new attaching screws to secure the LP tank tray free of charge. The recall began on February 25, 2015. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-937-596-6111 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
