The issue
Issue: On certain RV trailers, the sofa footrest switch may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, if the footrest switch is held down for too long, the wiring for the switch could overheat and melt. Safety Risk: Wiring that overheats or melts could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Airstream advises not to use the footrest switch until the recall repairs have been completed. Airstream will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your RV trailer to a dealership to install a reverse relay on the sofa footrest switch.
Description (français)
Problème : Sur certaines caravanes, le commutateur du repose-pieds du canapé pourrait ne pas avoir été fabriqué correctement. Par conséquent, si le commutateur du repose-pieds est maintenu enfoncé pendant trop longtemps, le câblage pourrait surchauffer et fondre. Risques pour la sécurité : Un câblage qui surchauffe ou fond pourrait créer un risque d'incendie. Mesures correctives : Airstream doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur caravane chez un concessionnaire pour faire installer un relais inverseur sur le commutateur du repose-pied du canapé.
