STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain 2022 Airstream Classic, Flying Cloud, Pottery Barn, 2022-2023 International, and Globetrotter travel trailers. The manual step may collapse due to the fastener screw pulling through the washer.
- What it can cause
- The step could collapse while in use, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the old washer and install a Loctite thread locker, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 15, 2022. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111 ext. 7401 or 7411.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 554 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 51% of the 15,915 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Airstream vehicles have been recalled over the structure 3 times before this, most recently in March 2015 as 15V190000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V143000 (equipment), 23V519000 (electrical system), 22V452000 (suspension).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Airstream, Inc. with NHTSA on May 18, 2022 as campaign 22V348000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
