2006 Airstream Safari Bambi recalls

Recall 06V-161: Electrical System

Reported May 9, 2006 · 67 vehicles affected · AIRSTREAM, INC.

Problem: On certain travel trailers, the 110-volt receptacle in the galley area of the unit is required to be protected by a ground fault interrupter (Gfi) receptacle or by a gfi type breaker in the panel board. The 110-volt galley receptacle unit does not have this protection.

Risk: This condition could result in an electrical shock that could cause serious injury or death.

Fix: Dealers will remove the present galley receptacle, install a nonmetallic outlet box, and install and test the gfi 110-volt receptacle free of charge. The recall began on may 18, 2006. Owners may contact airstream at 937-596-6111.
