2006–2007 Airstream Classic recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain travel trailers equipped with dexter axles, the disc brake caliper mounting bolts may strip. Insufficient clamp load between caliper and yoke CAN cause the caliper to disassemble and adversely affect the trailers braking system.
💥 The risk
Loss of braking CAN increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dexter has modified the remedy for these vehicles (please see 06E029). A new larger caliper mounting nut will be installed. For more information you may contact dexter axle at 1-800-400-2164 or airstream at 1-937-596-6111, ext. 7418 or 7400.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
