Airstream Classic: Brakes

Affects Airstream Classic · 2006–2009 — about 40 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain trailers equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, the brake hoses may flex near the fitting on the brake assembly during suspension travel. Over time, the hoses may fatigue and fail, rendering the trailer brakes inoperative. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake lines with an updated design.
