NHTSA recall 20V391000
Suspension · Airstream, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain model year 2020-2021 Airstream Atlas and 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.
Why it matters: If the bolts carry the load rather than the bracket, it can cause them to break, affecting the vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the suspension bolts, free of charge. This recall began August 26, 2020.
