Plain-English summary

Airstream, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Sport, Flying Cloud, and International recreational trailers. The recall involves 82 vehicles where the Tire Placard may be missing information regarding the spare tire. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

The missing information creates a safety hazard because operators may install the incorrect tire or overload the spare tire without the correct load data. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will provide a corrected Tire Placard free of charge. The recall began on March 10, 2017. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-937-596-6111 extension 7401 or 7411, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
