Owner report 11485079 · 2022-09-18 (September 18, 2022)
I was driving down the road and two of the four batteries under my airstream interstate fell out from under the van. It ripped off my bumper. I checked on a few airstream forums and this is common. It is very dangerous. Airstream needs to fox this issue. Someone behind me could have been injured if we were on a high way.

Consequence: In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Royale Limousine will notify owners and dealers will inspect and repair the seat, free of charge. The recall began June 6, 2019. Owners may contact Royale Limousine customer service at 1-800-544-5587.
