EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
- The defect
- Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain 2024 Airstream Trade Wind travel trailers, equipped with certain GE air conditioners. The air conditioner soft start device may fail and overheat.
- What it can cause
- An air conditioner soft start device that overheats increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the ICM soft start module, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 11, 2024. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at [email protected], 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-611 ext. 7401.
- 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 269 vehicles this is a small campaign: 57% 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, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Airstream vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 29 times before this, most recently in May 2024 as 24V314000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 6, 2024 as campaign 24V656000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
