Gulf Stream Recalls 2016-2017 Trailers for Incorrect Tire Certification Label
Gulf Stream is recalling 2016-2017 Ameri-Lite and Super-Lite trailers because the Federal Certification label lists incorrect tire and wheel sizes, which could lead to installing the wrong replacement parts.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a labeling error that could lead to incorrect tire installation, posing a theoretical risk of crash, but no injuries or crashes have been reported, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
Plain-English summary
Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Ameri-Lite and Super-Lite trailers manufactured between January 11, 2016, and April 11, 2016. The recall involves 24 units. The Federal Information Certification label on these trailers incorrectly lists the tire size as ST205/75D-14-C with a wheel size of 14x5.5. The correct tire size is 235/75R-15-C with a wheel size of 15x6. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
If an owner relies on the incorrect label, they may install an incorrect replacement wheel and tire combination. This error could potentially increase the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.
Gulf Stream will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected Federal Certification label free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. Gulf Stream's number for this recall is GT060816.
