Plain-English summary

Airstream, Inc. is recalling certain 2023 Atlas motorhomes for an electrical system defect. The 16-gauge branch wires in these vehicles may be under-protected by a 20-amp fuse.

In the event of a short circuit, the undersized fuse may not properly interrupt current, allowing the wiring to overheat. Overheating wiring increases the risk of fire.
