NHTSA Complaint #11418019 — 2020 AIRSTREAM BASECAMP

The Air Stream Basecamp rock guard shield Southco fasteners have repeatedly failed and dropped out while traveling. We had a full replacement of all the Southco fasteners for the three rock guard shields installed on our 2020 Air Stream basecamp X trailer while we were traveling July 2020. Replacement service was handled under warranty by an Air Stream service department. While on a May 2021 trip, we again had a Southco fastener drop out of a rock shield. We only notice the fasteners are missing when we stop for gas, not while in transit. We are working with with the local Air Stream service department to replace the current missing fastener, again under warranty. It would be extremely dangerous if both of the Southco rock guard fasteners fall out of a shield while driving down the road with the trailer. Nothing would stop the shield from swinging open, breaking off due to wind pressure, and hitting other vehicles, causing serious injury and expensive repair.
