What this recall means for you
Some 2019 Airstream Interstate motorhomes may have been built with 150-amp fuses on the coach battery circuit instead of the specified 100-amp fuses. This could allow the battery cables to carry more current than they are rated for.
Overloaded battery cables can overheat, which increases the risk of a fire in the vehicle.
Airstream will notify affected owners. Authorized dealers will replace the 150-amp fuses with 100-amp fuses at no cost to you. For questions, contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111, extensions 7401 or 7411, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
