AIRSTREAM INTERNATIONAL TRAILER OWNERS MANUAL
A-4
EXPLANATION OF AIRSTREAM LIMITED WARRANTY
The Airstream Limited Warranty is detailed in a separate folder. A plastic WARRANTY
IDENTIFICATION CARD is sent to you after Airstream receives notification from your dealer of the sale.
Since
this I.D. card is necessary to obtain warranty, it should be kept in the trailer or on your person during
the warranty period.
EXCLUSIONS:
Normal Wear
Items such as tires, water purifier packs, curtains, upholstery, floor coverings, window, door and vent seals
will show wear or may even wear out within the two year warranty period depending upon the amount of
usage, weather, and atmospheric conditions.
Accident
We strongly urge our dealers and customers to inspect the trailer upon receipt of delivery for any damage
caused by accident while being delivered to the dealer, or while it is on the dealer's lot. Damage of this
nature becomes the dealer or customer's responsibility upon acceptance of delivery, unless Airstream is
notified and the person making the delivery verifies the damage. Glass breakage, whether obviously struck
or mysterious, is always accidental and covered by most insurance policies.
Abuse
Lack of customer care and/or improper maintenance will result in early failure for which Airstream cannot
be held responsible.
Exposure
Not unlike a car, the steel parts of a trailer can and will rust if subjected to prolonged exposure to moisture,
salt air, or corrosive air-borne pollutants without repainting. Aluminum oxidizes when unprotected under
similar conditions, and refinery chemicals of a sulfurous nature are harmful to finishes if not washed off
periodically. Extremely hot or direct sunlight will deteriorate rubber and fade curtains and upholstery.
Conditions of this nature, although they may be normal for the area, are beyond Airstream's control and
become the responsibility of the owner.
Although it is our obligation to correct a rain or plumbing leak within the terms of the limited warranty, it is
the owner's responsibility to use reasonable, prudent care to minimize foreseeable secondary damage, such
as a delaminated floor, stained upholstery, carpeting, drapes etc.
Overload
Damage due to loading, either beyond capacity or to cause improper towing because of improper balance,
is beyond Airstream's responsibility. The Airstream trailer is engineered to properly handle the gross
vehicle load rating on the certification label. Load distribution has a definite effect upon the towing
characteristics and attitudes of the trailer. Level hitch installations are a necessity, and very important on a
tandem axle trailer. There are limits to the amount of load that can be safely transported depending upon
speed and road conditions, and reasonable cause to believe these factors have been exceeded could void the
Airstream warranty. For additional information on the loading of your trailer, consult your Owner's Manual
or gross vehicle weight rating plate.
The Airstream axle is manufactured to a tolerance of 1-degree camber and 1/8" toe-in. These tolerances
will only change if the trailer is subjected to abuse, such as dropping off a sharp berm, striking a curb, or
hitting a deep hole in the road. Such damage could be considered as resulting from an accident which risks
are not covered under the warranty. Abnormal tire wear and/or wheel alignment resulting from such
damage is not covered under the terms of the warranty.
