Recall 14V690 covers 1,740 2014-2015 Airstream travel trailers with loose power-inlet electrical connectors. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.

Airstream is recalling 1,740 2014-2015 Land Yacht, Flying Cloud, International, Sport, Classic, and Eddie Bauer travel trailers under recall 14V690 because power inlet receptacles were not properly tightened to the electrical connectors. If the connection is loose, excessive heat can build and raise the risk of a trailer fire; the dealer repair will be free once available through an International dealer.

What's wrong?

The power inlet receptacle on a 2014-2015 Airstream Land Yacht, Flying Cloud, International, Sport, Classic, or Eddie Bauer trailer is the outside shore-power socket. It is where the trailer connects to campground or household power, and it passes that power into the trailer's electrical system through electrical connectors behind the inlet.

On affected trailers, the power inlet receptacle was built with connectors that were not properly tightened. A loose connector does not grip the wire connection the way it should, so the inlet is not carrying current through a firm contact point. The problem is at the connection behind the receptacle, not at a switch or appliance inside the trailer.

There is no warning sign before failure. The recall filing does not identify a light, sound, smell, or other owner-facing symptom that appears before the loose inlet connection fails.

Who's affected?

Covers the Land Yacht, Flying Cloud, International, Sport, Classic, and Eddie Bauer trailer lines for the 2014 and 2015 model years, all tied to the electrical system.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

A loose electrical connection at the power inlet can create excessive heat and increase the risk of a vehicle fire. If your VIN is included, limit use until a dealer inspects the receptacle, tightens the connectors, or replaces the inlet. Repair will be free at any franchised International dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2015 Airstream Land Yacht, Flying Cloud, International, Sport, Classic, or Eddie Bauer travel trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Watch for Airstream's owner notice if your VIN is included. Owner letters were mailed on December 2, 2014.
  3. Contact a franchised International dealer to ask about the free power-inlet inspection and electrical-connector repair that addresses the loose connection and fire risk.
  4. Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 14V690 when you call.
  5. Call Airstream customer service at 1-937-596-6111 with questions before towing or using campground shore power.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, an International technician inspects the trailer's power inlet receptacle for damage, then tightens the electrical connectors. If the inlet is damaged, the technician replaces the power inlet. The record does not mark the remedy as available, so confirm with the dealer before planning the visit. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall.
