Trailer may Detach from Tow Vehicle

Hazard

If the coupler separates from the tow ball, the trailer can detach from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

Remedy

Airstream will notify owners, and will send a temporary use adaptor that can be slipped over the ball portion of the coupler to allow owners to tow their trailers. For the final remedy, dealers will add a shim plate to the backside of the ball coupler clamp to put it in position to apply the required clamping force on the tow ball, free of charge. The recall began November 13, 2019. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111 extension 7401 or 7411.
