What's wrong?
The tire placard on a 2017 Airstream Flying Cloud, International, or Sport trailer is the label that gives the owner tire information for the trailer. It normally lists the tire and rim details, load information, inflation pressure, and spare tire information so the trailer is set up with the correct equipment.
On affected trailers, the placard was printed without the spare tire information. Airstream traced the problem to information that was not entered correctly in its computer database, so the label did not carry the full spare tire details required for the trailer. The corrected placard includes the spare tire information.
There is no warning sign before failure because the issue is on the label, not a part that makes noise, leaks, or changes how the trailer feels. Owners notice the problem by reading the tire placard and seeing that the spare tire details are missing.
Who's affected?
Covers Flying Cloud, International, and Sport trailers, all tied to the vehicle label.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific trailer.
What's the safety risk?
The wrong spare tire and load information can lead an operator to install the wrong tire or overload the spare, increasing crash risk. There is no warning sign from the trailer itself, so use the corrected tire placard before choosing or loading the spare. Repair is free at any franchised International dealer.
