airstream, inc. (airstream) is recalling certain model year 2020-2021 airstream interstate motorhomes equipped with vb suspension systems. the lock portion of the countersink bolts attaching the vb suspension system to the vehicle may be too long preventing the panhard rod bracket from fully contacting the springs, resulting in bolts absorbing the load instead of the bracket.
airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the suspension bolts, free of charge. the recall is expected to begin august 31, 2020. owners may contact airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505.
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.
