Airstream Interstate Recall 19V906: Incorrect load capacity label may lead to overloading

NHTSA campaign 19V906, reported December 18, 2019, 89 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity label on certain motorhomes may list the wrong capacity. Because of this, the vehicle could be loaded beyond what it is designed to carry, and the vehicle does not meet the federal wheel and rim requirements covered by FMVSS 120.

Overloading a motorhome raises the risk of a crash, since excess weight can affect handling, braking, and tire performance. Follow the correct capacity shown on the label and do not exceed it with passengers or cargo until the label has been replaced.

Airstream will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install new labels showing the correct occupant and cargo carrying capacity at no cost to you. The recall began February 7, 2020. You can contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111, extensions 7401 or 7411, and you should check your vehicle identification number for open recalls.
