NHTSA recall 15V190000
Structure · Airstream, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain model year 2015 Interstate motorhomes manufactured from October 6, 2014, through March 25, 2015, and built on a Mercedes-benz Sprinter chassis. In the affected vehicles, the abutting wedge, a component attached to the door jamb to make opening the door easier after a severe frontal crash, may have been installed incorrectly.
Why it matters: If a vehicle that has an incorrectly installed abutting wedge is involved in a severe frontal crash, a greater force may be necessary to open the doors, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Mercedes benz will notify owners on behalf of airstream, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, correct the abutting wedge installation, free of charge. Owners were notified on April 10, 2015.
