2008–2009 Airstream Interstate recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
Airstream is recalling certain my 2008-2009 class b vans built with factory installed driver and passenger seat swivel mechanisms. These vans fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "seating systems."
💥 The risk
It is possible that during a frontal impact, the driver and passenger seat swivel mechanism could fail causing severe injury to the seat occupants.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the defective seat swivel mechanisms with modified seat swivel mechanisms that have been reinforced and contains a stronger swivel locking bolt. The recall began on august 1, 2008. Owners may contact airstream at 1-937-596-6111.
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.)
