Airstream Atlas Motorhome Generator Recalled for Missing Heat Shield

Certain 2023-2024 Airstream Atlas motorhomes may lack a heat shield on the generator, exposing subflooring to excessive heat. This defect increases the risk of fire and injury.

What this means for you

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: This recall involves a documented equipment defect (missing generator heat shield) that creates an explicit risk of fire and injury in a vehicle, but no injuries, fires, or property damage have been reported. Under the rubric criterion 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported,' this places the recall in the High category.
