What's wrong?
The OCCC label on a 2018-2019 Airstream Interstate motorhome is the weight label that tells an owner how much people and cargo the finished motorhome is allowed to carry. It is part of the vehicle information required for non-passenger vehicles under FMVSS 120. That label helps keep loading within the motorhome's actual as-built capacity.
On affected Interstate motorhomes, the label listed the wrong occupant and cargo carrying capacity. Airstream traced the issue to the software used to create the label. The software did not have an upper control limit to flag when the finished motorhome's build made the listed carrying capacity too high.
The problem is the label, not a broken mechanical part. The corrected label has the right OCCC value, so owners can load the motorhome against the proper capacity. There is no warning sign before failure. An owner would not know the label is wrong without the recall repair or a corrected label from Airstream.
Who's affected?
Both model years carry the same vehicle label issue, so the listed item is the certification or placard label rather than a mechanical part.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect OCCC label can lead an owner to load the vehicle beyond its true occupant and cargo capacity, increasing crash risk. There is no warning sign before an overload problem. Use conservative loading until the label is replaced. Repair is free at any franchised Airstream dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2019 Airstream Interstate is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Airstream dealer to schedule the free corrected OCCC label service that replaces the incorrect occupant and cargo capacity label.
- Bring the recall notice if Airstream mailed one. Reference recall number 19V906 when you call.
- Use the corrected OCCC label before loading passengers or cargo, and keep the motorhome within the posted capacity.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Airstream technician provides new Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity labels with the correct cargo capacity information for the 2018-2019 Interstate. The label correction is free under the recall, and parts and labor are covered. If you already paid for a related label correction, Airstream says reimbursement is handled through the normal warranty claims process. Bring your repair paperwork to the service desk, or contact Airstream customer service before the appointment so the claim can be handled with the right documentation.
