Electrical system: wiring: fuses and circuit breakersReported May 9, 2006 · 67 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On certain travel trailers, the 110-volt receptacle in the galley area of the unit is required to be protected by a ground fault interrupter (gfi) receptacle or by a gfi type breaker in the panel board. The 110-volt galley receptacle unit does not have this protection.
Risk
This condition could result in an electrical shock that could cause serious injury or death.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the present galley receptacle, install a nonmetallic outlet box, and install and test the gfi 110-volt receptacle free of charge. The recall began on may 18, 2006. Owners may contact airstream at 937‑596‑6111.

Filed Jun 29, 2009 · Brakes · MT

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 airstream safari bambi trailer. While driving 75 MPH, the brakes failed and the contact lost control of the trailer. The trailer was taken to the dealer, but they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The dealer reconnected the brake wires. Upon further investigation, the contact was able to determine that the steel plate that holds the brake assembly was not welded to the axle housing, which caused the brake wires to be torn from the brake assembly. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed to submit pictures. The pictures were sent and the contact was informed not to pull the trailer because it was unsafe. No compensation would be made because the warranty was expired. The trailer is currently being repaired. The failure and current mileages were unknown.
