Date: 2015-11-17. Systems: EQUIPMENT.

Defect: Airstream, Inc.

Propane gas may leak into the plastic gas level indicator window of the regulator causing it to degrade and crack.

Consequence: If the indicator window cracks, propane gas may leak out, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy: Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the propane regulator and the required hoses, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2015. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-937-596-6111 extension 7401 or 7411.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
