Airstream, Inc. recalled certain model year 2020-2021 Airstream Atlas and Interstate motorhomes with VB suspension systems due to a crash risk from potentially broken bolts.

How to tell if you have it
Airstream Atlas, 2020-2021
Airstream Interstate, 2020-2021
What to do
Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the suspension bolts, free of charge. This recall began August 26, 2020. Owners may contact Airstream customer service at 1-877-596-6505.
The hazard
The lock portion of the countersink bolts attaching the VB Suspension system to the vehicle may be too long, preventing the panhard rod bracket from fully contacting the springs. If the bolts carry the load rather than the bracket, it can cause them to break, affecting the vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
