Defect description

Airstream, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Flying Cloud, International, and Sport recreational trailers. The Federal Certification label and Tire Placards on these vehicles have incorrect information. The label was printed for ST225/75R15 Load Range E tires, but the vehicle has ST225/75R15 Load Range D tires. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims" and Part 567, "Certification."

Safety risk

The incorrect information on the labels could cause an owner to overinflate the tires, possibly resulting in a tire blowout, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect label with a corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on February 15, 2017. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-937-596-6111, extension 7401 or 7411.

Notes

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.safercar.gov.
