SUMMARY:

Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain model year 2016 Classic, Flying Cloud, International, Sport, Eddie Bauer, and Land Yacht recreational trailers manufactured August 3, 2015, to November 13, 2015, and equipped with Auto Changeover Propane Gas Regulators. 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.

Consumer often check vehicle labels to make sure they are putting the right amount of air in their tires. Federal law requires motor vehicles to have labels telling owners about the tire pressures that should be used in the vehicle tires. There's a reason for that.

Not only does over or under inflation affect tire wear and fuel mileage, but it can seriously affect the safe operation of the vehicle too. Tires with the wrong amount of air in them cause the tire to fail, perhaps even blow out while on the highway. It can also change the way the vehicle will react in a sudden emergency maneuver and that can cause an accident that might not otherwise occur.

When the labels have the wrong tire pressure numbers on them, during the life of the vehicle the odds are that some future owner is going to make a costly mistake. It can lead to an accident. That's why recalls are sometimes issued to fix mislabeling problems. Here's a recall for just one such problem.
