Airstream due to improper welding, the Demco ball coupler installed on the travel trailers may not provide enough clamping force on the tow ball, potentially causing the coupler to separate from the tow ball.
The short version
Airstream, Inc. reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
Due to improper welding, the Demco ball coupler installed on the travel trailers may not provide enough clamping force on the tow ball, potentially causing the coupler to separate from the tow ball.
If the coupler separates from the tow ball, the trailer can detach from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Airstream will notify owners, and will send a temporary use adaptor that can be slipped over the ball portion of the coupler to allow owners to tow their trailers, free of charge.
