ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain 2021-2023 16' Basecamp and 20' Basecamp travel trailers manufactured without an air conditioner. The 12-gauge wire for future air conditioner installation was not properly terminated inside the junction box.
- What it can cause
- An improperly terminated wire can cause an electrical shock, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will remove the wire from the circuit breaker and power converter, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 12, 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 58 vehicles this is a small campaign: 76% 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 model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Airstream vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 14 times before this, most recently in July 2023 as 23V519000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V206000 (equipment), 23V860000 (structure), 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 September 1, 2023 as campaign 23V614000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
