EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain 2023 Bambi vehicles. The capacity of the freshwater tank was overstated, resulting in an incorrect Cargo Carrying Capacity label. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- What it can cause
- An incorrect label may lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Airstream will mail corrected labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 26, 2023. 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 137 vehicles this is a small campaign: 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Airstream vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 24 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V134000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 23V519000 (electrical system), 23V134000 (equipment).
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 June 21, 2023 as campaign 23V435000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
