2005 Airstream Classic

Component

Suspension:Front:Wheel Bearing

Consequence of Defect

on certain motorhomes, the outer wheel bearing in the hub of the axle may fail, leading to unexpected separation of the wheel from the axle. this failure may be due to an inadequate amount of grease in the hub assembly or the grease in the hub may break down under normal operating conditions into a liquid that inadequately lubricates the outer bearing. inadequate lubrication of the outer bearing can begin a chain of events that could lead to wheel separation.

Corrective Action

separation of one or more wheels from the trailer could cause the trailer to handle erratically or go out of control. a lost wheel could also strike an oncoming or following vehicle causing a crash, resulting in serious injury of death to those involved.

Recall Notes

dealers will repair the unit and remove the wheels, inspect the hubs, inner and outer bearings, races and grease seals. if necessary, replace parts and repack the wheel bearing with high temperature grease and reinstall the hub and wheels. the recall began november 4, 2004. owners should contact airstream at 1-877-596-6505.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

airstream will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076). dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. dometic has retained stericycle inc. to manage this campaign. stericycle will assist you in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. owners may contact dometic at 1-888-446-5157, stericycle at 1-317-860-1163, or airstream at 1-937-596-6111.
