Airstream INTERSTATE in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Airstream INTERSTATE is named on 20 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain motorhomes equipped with the rear sofa floor plan, the seatbelt latch or buckle could fall between the sofa base and the sofa back, and contact electrical equipment located under the sofa. In addition, metal cables under the seat could break and fall on the same electrical equipment. These issues could cause an electrical short, which could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a cover over the electrical components located under the sofa.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2012438.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Airstream Interstate, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Airstream: 61 in the register, and 444 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2012.
