What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (window glass detachment) that poses a significant risk of injury or a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Airstream, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 Basecamp travel trailers. The recall addresses a defect where the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame of the entry door window may fail. This failure allows the glass to separate from the frame while the trailer is moving.

If the window glass detaches while the vehicle is in motion, it could become a projectile. This increases the risk of injury to occupants or other road users, or a crash.

Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the windows for proper adhesive bond strength. Dealers will replace the windows as necessary and install updated adhesive strips to all windows free of charge. This recall began August 3, 2020. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111, extension 7401 or 7411.
