  • Airstream is recalling certain 2021-2022 Basecamp, Bambi, Atlas, Interstate, and Interstate 19 travel trailers equipped with certain 2-burner cooktops. The burner control valves may become damaged, causing a gas leak. A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

A wire to the boom stow sensor may be routed over a sharp edge, which can expose the wire to metal and result in a blown ignition circuit fuse. A blown fuse can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 594 units are affected by the recall.

The zinc-plating on the fuel return line may break away when contacted by road debris, causing two dissimilar metals on the fuel line to contact each other and corrode.

  • Forest River is recalling certain 2021-2022 Salem and Wildwood fifth wheel travel trailers.
