Summary: Airstream is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 interstate touring coaches manufactured from September 18, 2008, through June 24, 2011. The driver's seat belt buckle wire could be damaged or severed when the driver's seat is adjusted forward, backward, or swiveled. This wire allows communication between the supplemental restraint system (SRS) and the vehicle control module (ECM) indicating if the driver's seat is occupied and the seat belt is buckled.
Consequence: If the driver's seat belt buckle wire is damaged or severed, the seat belt tensioner will not function correctly allowing the driver to not be secured to the seat, preventing proper operation of the SRS which could result in personal injury to the driver in the event of a crash.
Remedy: Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will repair the coaches free of charge. The safety recall began on July 21, 2011. Owners may contact airstream at 1-937-538-1268.
Notes: Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Airstream been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Airstream dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
