Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Airstream is recalling certain 2019-2020 Sport, Nest, Flying Cloud, International Serenity, International Signature, Classic, Globetrotter and Tommy Bahama trailers, as well as 2020 Basecamp, Bambi and Caravel trailers. The Demco ball coupler on these trailers may have improper welding that prevents it from clamping properly onto the tow ball. If the coupler separates from the tow ball, the trailer can detach from the tow vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.
Airstream will notify owners and initially send a temporary use adaptor that can be placed over the ball portion of the coupler to allow continued towing. For the permanent fix, dealers will add a shim plate to the backside of the ball coupler clamp at no charge to ensure proper clamping force. Owners should contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111 extension 7401 or 7411.
