Airstream Classic: Brakes

Affects Airstream Classic · 2005–2009 — about 33 vehicles.

The hazard

Certain travel trailers may have been manufactured with a faulty hydraulic brake controller. The brake fluid reservoir may leak onto the controller circuit board causing it to fail. This could cause the trailer brakes to unexpectedly lock up or fail, which may result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake controller.
