Recall 03V-152: 2000–2003 Airstream Land Yacht
AIRSTREAM, INC. recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Apr 21, 2003, covering about 94 vehicles.
The problem
On certain 350 xl and 355 xl and commercial units designated as 35' xl and 37' xl motor homes built on the ford f53 chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems." the brake system warning indicator may not function as required by standard.
The risk
In some of the affected vehicles, the brake system warning indicator will not illuminate when the ignition is in the start position or for a low brake fluid condition, if the body builder relied solely upon ford's ivm compliance statement for the brake system warning indicator.
The fix
Dealers will repair these vehicles. Owner notification began may 2, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact airstream at 937-596-6111.
