What is wrong
Airstream, Inc. is recalling certain Fiamma-brand Flying Cloud and International model number 209397 accessory bicycle racks distributed January 2012 through December 2013 by Airstream. When the bike rack is installed as designed and loaded with bicycles, the secondary emergency exit in the rear of the trailer may be partially blocked.
What can happen
Partial blockage of the secondary emergency may hinder egress from the trailer in the event of an emergency, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Airstream will notify owners, and will supply two new warning labels, one for the bike rack and one for inside the trailer by the rear secondary exit. This label will also come with installation instructions. The recall began on January 17, 2014. Customers may contact Airstream at 1-937-538-1268.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
