Airstream Recalls 2020-2021 Interstates Due to Incorrect Weight Rating Label

Airstream is recalling 2020-2021 Interstate vehicles because the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating label may list incorrect occupant cargo capacity, potentially leading to vehicle overload.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect (incorrect weight rating) increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Airstream, Inc. is recalling certain 2020-2021 Interstate vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the Federal Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) label may list an incorrect occupant cargo carrying capacity weight. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims-Other Than Passenger Cars," and 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The incorrect labeling creates a safety hazard because operators may inadvertently overload the vehicle. Overloading increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Airstream will notify owners and provide a new label free of charge. Owner letters were mailed on June 10, 2021.
