Reporting Safety Defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which
could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), in addition to notifying

investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists
in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign� However, NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between you, your dealer, or
Airstream, Inc�
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Vehicle
Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-
