2008 Airstream Classic recalls
Recall 12V-532: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Airstream is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Airstream Classic recreational vehicles manufactured between May 2005 and April 2009. The brake hose may flex near the fitting on the brake assembly and lead to hose fatigue. Also, during suspension travel, the brake hose may rub on the underside of the trailer.
Risk: As a result of flexing or rubbing, the brake hose may fail causing a loss of brake pressure, reducing braking performance. The loss of braking ability could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace and reroute the brake lines, free of charge. The recall began on November 19, 2012. Owners may contact Airstream at 1-937-538-1268.

Risk: The locking of the brakes or brake failure could result in a loss of vehicle control that could result in a crash and possible serious injury.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the brake controller and if found to be defective it will be replaced free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during august 2010. Owners may contact airstream at 937-596-6111.
