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.

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 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.
