The problem
Airstream is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 international eddie bauer travel trailers. The part 567 certification labels on the vehicles contain incorrect tire and rim size information. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, Tire selection and rims.
The risk
Incorrect tire and tire pressure information on the label could lead to the installation of a tire with the wrong load rating and insufficient tire pressure. These conditions could result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Airstream will mail to consumers the corrected label and provide instructions on how install the label. The recall began on may 7, 2012. Owners should contact thor at 937-596-6849 or airstream at 937-538-1268.
