2010 Airstream Flying Cloud recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Airstream is recalling certain model year 2010 Flying Cloud travel trailers. These vehicles were built with axles rated at 3,800 lbs. The vehicles should have been built with axles rated at 4,400 lbs.
💥 The risk
Towing a vehicle with the axle loaded beyond the specified weight rating may result in axle failure leading to poor vehicle handling increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the axles with one's rated at 4,400 lbs free of charge. The recall began on march 31, 2010. Owners may contact airstream at 1-877-246-7731.
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.)
