Details

What's wrong: Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling 2013-2014 airstream interstate recereational vehicles manufactured August 2012 through October 2013. In the affected vehicles, the installation of the propane tank and the regulator may damage the regulator, allowing propane to escape out of the safety release vent if it experiences an over pressurized condition.

Why it matters: If the vehicle is parked in an enclosed storage area, in the presence of an ignition source, the escaping propane can collect and potentially cause a fire and or explosion to occur.

The fix: Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the regulator on the propane tank, free of charge. The recall began on February 4, 2014.
