What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2012-2013 Airstream International travel trailer is the small required label that gives an owner and service shop key setup details for the trailer. On this recall, the problem is the tire and rim size information printed on the Part 567 label. That label is supposed to match the tire and rim sizes required under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110.
On affected trailers, the label was printed with the wrong tire and rim size information. Recall 12V184 does not describe a failed tire, wheel, axle, or brake part. The defect is that the official label gives the wrong specification, which can lead an owner or service shop to select tire or rim sizes that do not match the trailer's certified setup.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is most likely to discover the issue by reading the certification label or having a dealer compare the label against Airstream's corrected tire and rim information.
Who's affected?
Covers two International model years with the same vehicle-label issue.
| 2012 Airstream International | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2013 Airstream International | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 12 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect tire and tire-pressure label can lead an owner or shop to install tires with the wrong load rating or set pressure too low. That raises the chance of tire failure and a crash. Confirm the correct label information before replacing tires or adjusting pressure. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012-2013 Airstream International is included in this recall.
- Watch for Airstream's corrected certification label and installation instructions if you have not received them.
- Replace the incorrect tire and rim label with the corrected label so the trailer shows the proper tire size, rim size, load rating, and tire pressure.
- Call Airstream customer service at 937-596-6849 with questions and reference recall number 12V184 when you call.
- Avoid changing tires or tire pressure from the old label until you confirm the corrected label information.
What happens at the repair
Airstream's listed remedy is a corrected Part 567 certification label mailed to owners, with instructions for installing it on the travel trailer. Because the remedy status is not listed as available in this source, do not assume a dealer appointment is open from this record alone. Once Airstream opens the repair path, the corrected label and any required dealer help are free under the recall. Keep the current label in place until you receive the corrected label and instructions.
