WARRANTY AND SERVICE
A
EXPLANATION OF AIRSTREAM LIMITED WARRANTY
The Airstream Limited Warranty is detailed on your warranty document.. It is filled out
by the dealer and presented to the owner during delivery of a new unit. The Limited
Warranty must be presented to a dealer to obtain warranty service. It should be kept in
the trailer during the warranty period.
EXCLUSIONS:
Normal Wear
Items such as tires, water purifier packs, curtains, upholstery, floor coverings, window,
door and vent seals will show wear or may even wear out within the two year warranty
period depending upon the amount of usage, weather, and atmospheric conditions.
Accident
We strongly urge our dealers and customers to inspect the trailer upon receipt of
delivery for any damage caused by accident while being delivered to the dealer, or
while it is on the dealer's lot. Damage of this nature becomes the dealer or customer's
responsibility upon acceptance of delivery, unless Airstream is notified and the person
making the delivery verifies the damage. Glass breakage, whether obviously struck or
mysterious, is always accidental and covered by most insurance policies.
Abuse
Lack of customer care and/or improper maintenance will result in early failure for which
Airstream cannot be held responsible.
Exposure
Not unlike a car, the steel parts of a trailer can and will rust if subjected to prolonged
exposure to moisture, salt air, or corrosive air-borne pollutants without repainting.
Aluminum oxidizes when unprotected under similar conditions, and refinery chemicals
of a sulfurous nature are harmful to finishes if not washed off periodically. Extremely hot
or direct sunlight will deteriorate rubber and fade curtains and upholstery. Conditions
of this nature, although they may be normal for the area, are beyond Airstream's control
and become the responsibility of the owner.
Although it is our obligation to correct a rain or plumbing leak within the terms of
the limited warranty, it is the owner's responsibility to use reasonable, prudent care
to minimize foreseeable secondary damage, such as a delaminated floor, stained
upholstery, carpeting, drapes etc.
Overload
Damage due to loading, either beyond capacity or to cause improper towing because
of improper balance, is beyond Airstream's responsibility. The Airstream trailer is
engineered to properly handle the gross vehicle load rating on the certification label.
Load distribution has a definite effect upon the towing characteristics and attitudes of
the trailer. Level hitch installations are a necessity, and very important on a tandem axle
trailer. There are limits to the amount of load that can be safely transported depending
upon speed and road conditions, and reasonable cause to believe these factors have
been exceeded could void the Airstream warranty. For additional information on the
loading of your trailer, consult your Owner's Manual or gross vehicle weight rating plate.
The axles used on your trailer is manufactured to a tolerance of 1-degree camber and
1/8" toe-in. These tolerances will only change if the trailer is subjected to abuse, such
as dropping off a sharp berm, striking a curb, or hitting a deep hole in the road. Such
damage could be considered as resulting from an accident which risks are not covered
under the warranty. Abnormal tire wear and/or wheel alignment resulting from such
damage is not covered under the terms of the warranty.
