What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is for a documentation and labeling error (incorrect axle count on the Federal label) with no reported safety hazards, injuries, or mechanical defects, fitting the 'Low' severity criteria for documentation issues.

Plain-English summary

Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. is recalling certain 2018 Gulf Stream Coach 19FMB Breeze and Geo recreational trailers. The recall addresses a defect where the information on the Federal label lists an incorrect number of axles on the trailer. Specifically, the label indicates two axles, but the trailer has only one axle. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The information regarding the trailer's gross axle weight rating (GAWR) for the front axle, tire, rim size, and recommended tire pressure is correct. The error is limited to the axle count on the label. The recall began on December 15, 2017.

Gulf Stream will notify affected owners and dealers and will send a corrected label free of charge. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787.
