2019 Airstream Basecamp Recall 19V024: Tire Placard Error

Recall 19V024 affects 189 2019 Airstream Basecamp recreational vehicles for incorrect tire placard information. Airstream sends corrected labels free of charge.

Airstream is recalling 189 2019 Basecamp recreational vehicles because the certification label and tire placard list the wrong tire size and pressure.

What's wrong?

The Federal Certification Label and Tire Placard on a 2019 Airstream Basecamp trailer are the labels an owner and service shop use to confirm tire size and inflation pressure. They are supposed to match the tires installed on the trailer, so the tire is inflated to the correct pressure for its load range. These labels also support compliance with FMVSS 110, which covers tire and rim selection.

On affected trailers, the labels list 235/55R18 Load Range D tires at 80 psi, while the trailer is equipped with 235/75R15 Load Range D tires that need 51 psi. Airstream traced the problem to Basecamp X tire information being different from the standard Basecamp tire information because the Basecamp X uses a larger off-road style tire. The wrong label gives the owner the wrong tire specification and pressure target.

There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is visible only by checking the tire placard against the tires installed on the trailer.

What's the safety risk?

Incorrect tire information can lead an operator to overinflate the tires, increasing the risk of a crash. Use the corrected placard before setting tire pressure, and schedule the label replacement soon so the trailer carries the right pressure guidance. Repair is free at any franchised Airstream dealer.
