Airstream Recalls 2016 Trailers Due to Propane Gas Leak Risk

Airstream is recalling 904 model year 2016 recreational trailers because propane gas may leak from the regulator, increasing the risk of a fire.

What this means for you

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

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (propane regulator failure) that explicitly increases the risk of a fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary

Airstream, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016 Classic, Flying Cloud, International, Sport, Eddie Bauer, and Land Yacht recreational trailers. These vehicles were manufactured between August 3, 2015, and November 13, 2015, and are equipped with Auto Changeover Propane Gas Regulators. A total of 904 units are affected by this recall.

The defect involves propane gas potentially leaking into the plastic gas level indicator window of the regulator. This exposure can cause the window to degrade and crack. If the indicator window cracks, propane gas may leak out, which increases the risk of a fire.

Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the propane regulator and the required hoses free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2015. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-937-596-6111 extension 7401 or 7411. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
