Plain-English summary

Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2001-2005 Class A and Class C recreational vehicles. The affected models include the Ultra, Conquest, Endura, Independence, Yellowstone, and Cavalier, built on specific floorplans. The recall involves a section of unsecured wiring within the raceway that may not be properly secured.

This condition can lead to wear and potential heat development between the exposed wiring and heated refrigerator coils. This could cause failure of the 110-volt electrical wiring routed to the microwave cabinet, increasing the risk of fire, personal injury, or property damage.

The safety recall began on April 4, 2012. Gulf Stream will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. Owners may contact Gulf Stream at 1-800-482-6456 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
