responsible.
4. 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 un¬
protected under similar conditions, and
refinery chemicals of a sulfurous nature
are harmful to finishes if not washed off
periodically. Extremely hot or direct sun¬
light 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.
One other type of exposure is that
resulting from an accident, rain or
plumbing leak. Although it is our
obligation to correct a rain or plumbing
leak within the terms of the 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.
5. 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
Owners Manual or gross vehicle weight
rating plate.
Airstream will not be responsible for any
consequential damages incurred as a re¬
sult of any warranty defect. Consequential
damages include, but are not limited to,
travel expenses, gasoline, oil, lodging,
meals, telephone tolls, loss of work and loss
of use of the trailer. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
In the event of a warranty defect, the
warranty holder should take corrective ac¬
tion to lessen the damages which might
result from such defect. Airstream will not
be responsible for resulting damages
which could have been avoided.
The full extent of Airstream's warranty is set
forth in the "Airstream Limited Warranty"
and this "Explanation of Airstream War¬
ranty." Airstream will not be responsible for
additional representations or implied war¬
ranties made by any of its dealers to the
extent those representations are not a part
of, or are contrary to, the terms and
conditions of the Airstream Warranty and
Explanation of Warranty. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
If you believe your trailer needs repairs
under the terms of the Airstream warranty,
you should contact the Service Manager at
any Airstream factory, Airstream Certified
Dealer Service center or participating Ar¬
gosy Certified Dealer Service center. The
trailer or defective part must be returned to
a factory or authorized service center at the
owner's expense.
