What happened

Airstream is recalling certain 2008-2012 Interstate Touring Coaches manufactured between September 18, 2008, and June 24, 2011. The driver's seat belt buckle wire can become damaged or severed when the driver's seat is adjusted forward, backward, or swiveled. If this wire is damaged or severed, the seat belt tensioner will not work properly, which means the driver may not be secured to the seat and the supplemental restraint system (SRS) will not operate correctly. This could result in personal injury to the driver in the event of a crash.

Airstream will notify owners, and authorized dealers will repair the coaches free of charge. The recall began on July 21, 2011. If you own an affected coach, you should contact Airstream at 1-937-538-1268.
