I purchased a new airstream travel traier with an electronic hydraulic disc brake system. The unie is a plastic brake unit resevoir which itself containes and eclosed electronic unit. The seal between units failed leaking brake fluid into the electric unit,caused total brake failure and burned the electric connection leavingme with a new 10,000lb trailer and no brakes. Itis a design failure my reapirman found upon fiberopitic inspection of the failed unit. I have verbabal reports of other failures. Airstream need to stop selling these units until this is corrected. Thanks. Fred vohr md

Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- What is wrong
- Airstream is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 Airstream Classic recreational vehicles manufactured between May 2005 and April 2009. The brake hose may flex near the fitting on the brake assembly and lead to hose fatigue. Also, during suspension travel, the brake hose may rub on the underside of the trailer.
- Risk
- As a result of flexing or rubbing, the brake hose may fail causing a loss of brake pressure, reducing braking performance. The loss of braking ability could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace and reroute the brake lines, free of charge. The recall began on November 19, 2012. Owners may contact Airstream at 1‑937‑538‑1268.
