FAQs
What is the warranty period for this luggage?
The product information states a 'Legal warranty', which typically covers manufacturing defects. Please refer to the retailer or American Tourister for specific terms and duration of the legal warranty in your region.
Can I take this 55cm luggage on all airlines as hand luggage?
The 55cm size is designed to meet most airline carry-on requirements (55x40x23cm). However, airline policies vary, so it is always best to check with your specific airline for their exact dimensions and weight restrictions before flying.
How do I set a new combination for the TSA lock?
The lock is set to 0-0-0 by default. To set your own code, open the lock, find the reset button (usually near the dials), press it with a pointed object while setting your desired 3-digit combination, and then release the button. Test your new code.
What is the advantage of the expansion feature?
The expansion feature allows you to increase the luggage's volume when needed, providing extra packing space. For this cabin model, the volume can increase from 39L to 46L, which is useful for carrying more items or souvenirs.
How durable is the polyester material?
The luggage is made with a rich fabric combination of 100% Polyester, designed to build resistance and withstand the rigors of travel. It offers a good balance of durability and light weight.
Is the inner lining made from recycled materials?
Yes, the inner material is made from recycled PET bottles using American Tourister's Recyclex™ material technology, contributing to sustainability.
What is the weight and volume of this cabin luggage?
The American Tourister Daring Dash cabin luggage (55cm) weighs 2.50kg and has a volume of 39 liters, which can be expanded to 46 liters.
Troubleshooting
TSA lock is difficult to open or reset
Ensure the dials are aligned perfectly with the current combination. If resetting, make sure you hold the reset button firmly while changing the digits and release it only after your new code is set. Check the lock mechanism for any obstructions.
Spinner wheels are not rolling smoothly
Check the wheels for any tangled threads, debris, or dirt. Clean them with a damp cloth and ensure they can rotate freely. If the issue persists, there might be internal damage, and professional inspection may be needed.
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper pull back and forth. Rub a graphite pencil lead or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate them. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
Handle is wobbly or doesn't extend properly
Ensure the telescopic handle is fully extended and locked into place. Check the handle mechanism for obstructions. If it remains wobbly, there may be an issue with the internal rod, and it may require professional servicing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- TSA Lock Initialization: The TSA lock is typically set to '0-0-0' by default. To set your personal combination, open the lock by sliding the latch. Find the reset mechanism (often a small button near the dials) and press it with a pen tip while setting your desired 3-digit code. Release the button once the code is set. Ensure you can open the lock with your new code before securing your luggage.
Compatibility:
- Hand Luggage: The 55 cm model is designed to comply with the carry-on size restrictions of most major airlines (55x40x23cm). However, it is always recommended to verify the specific dimensions and weight allowances with your airline before travel, as policies can vary.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and mild soap. Wipe down the fabric gently and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material.
- Storage: Store the luggage in a cool, dry place when not in use. To save space, you can place smaller bags or items inside the main compartment.
- Wheels & Zippers: Periodically check the wheels and zippers for any debris or damage. Clean the wheels with a damp cloth and ensure zippers move smoothly; a little silicone spray can help if they become stiff.
