IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL This notice applies to your vehicle: «VIN» «Owner_name» «Street» «City», «State» «Zip» Dear «Owner_name»: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Airstream has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in Model Year 2021 & 2022 Atlas & Interstate touring coaches as well as, Bambi & Basecamp travel trailers. As a result, Airstream is conducting a safety recall. Airstream, Inc. (Airstream) is recalling 2021 & 2022 Atlas & Interstate touring coaches as well as, Bambi & Basecamp travel trailers. The Dometic 2 burner (SMEV) control valve, mated directly to the control knob via the valve stem, on the cooktop may leak gas. The burner control valve may have incurred abrasions, internally or externally, on the mating metal sealing surfaces of the burner control valve that may have led to leaks. If a gas leak occurs, this could result in a fire, personal injury and/or property damage. Airstream dealers will be instructed to perform an inspection of the cooktops. If the cooktop IS NOT part of the affected population, no further action is required. If the cooktop IS part of the affected population, Airstream will provide all parts and labor free of charge. An authorized Airstream dealer will need to perform the recall and replace the cooktop. The model and serial number are required to be logged on the claim and will be needed when contacting Dometic to order the replacement cooktop. Upon receiving the cooktop, the remedy instructions will be provided as well as a recall response card that must be filled out and sent back to Dometic as stated in their instructions. This will be done at no cost to the customer. This repair will take approximately 1 hour. At the time your vehicle was being manufactured Airstream was using two different vendors due to supply chain shortages. Because of this, if your unit has a Suburban 2 burner cooktop, you are not affected by this recall. For tracking purposes, please contact Airstream Customer Service via email at support@airstream.com and provide us with the last 6 digits of your VIN. If your unit has a Dometic 2 burner cooktop you should contact your selling dealer immediately to schedule a service appointment to have the recall completed on your vehicle.
