What's wrong?
The Parametric Special Module, or PSM, is the electronic interface between the van chassis and Airstream's auxiliary systems on 2025-2026 Interstate motorhomes. It tells added equipment, including the power awning controls, when vehicle conditions require those controls to stay locked. The awning controls should stay locked during travel.
In recall 25V450, the problem is a PSM pin assignment used with the model year 2025 chassis. Airstream traced the issue to the auxiliary electronic system wiring assignment, where the awning control lockout was tied to the wrong PSM pin position. The corrected setup changes the assignment from Pin #7 to Pin #4, so the lockout signal works as intended.
When the pin assignment is wrong, the awning controls do not reliably lock while the motorhome is in transit. That creates a path for the awning to extend while the vehicle is being driven. There is no warning sign before failure.
Who's affected?
The affected components are listed under recreational-vehicle equipment and structure because the Parametric Special Module connects the van to auxiliary electronic systems.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Airstream technician corrects the Parametric Special Module pinning assignment so the control lockout works as intended and the awning cannot be extended during transit. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Airstream uses its standard reimbursement plan for owners who already paid for a related repair before the recall notice. Bring repair invoices, receipts, and any service paperwork to the dealer or Airstream customer service when you ask about repayment.
