What is wrong

Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling certain 2021 Basecamp 16 trailers. The information printed on the Federal Certification and Tire Placard is 255/55R18 - 50 PSI, when the correct information is ST225/75R15E - 80 PSI. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims" and 567, "Certification.”

What can happen

If inflated per printed information the tires could be underinflated, which can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Airstream will notify owners, and dealers and will install corrected labels, free of charge. The recall began October 30, 2020. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505 or 1-937-596-6111 ext. 7401 or 7411.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

1STTSB1876282021	2021-07-19. Service bulletin. It has come to Airstreams attention that the fresh water tank sensor on model year 2021 Basecamp 20' is not reading the correct percentage due to the sensor pad not being cut to the correct size. The tank used on the Basecamp 20 is the same tank used in our Bambi travel trailer. The tank can hold up to 27 gallons, however we are only able to use 23 gallons, therefore if the sensor is installed too low it will still show a percentage of usable water remaining but it cannot be pumped from the tank due to the pick up tube location. By replacing the sensor pad and installing it in the correct location the monitor will show the amount of usable water rather then the tank capacity.
