Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a documentation and labeling error that causes confusion but does not present a direct physical hazard or risk of injury.
Plain-English summary
Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. is recalling certain 2018 Geo and Matrix recreational trailers. The Federal Certification Labels on these vehicles may incorrectly list the Kilogram (Kg) weight rating of the rear axle as 182 Kg (401.31 lbs.) below its actual capacity. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The axle information for the front axle is correctly listed as 4400 lbs./1996kg, but the rear axle information is incorrectly listed as 4400lbs./1814kg. The discrepancy in information may cause owner confusion.
Gulf Stream will notify owners and provide corrected labels free of charge. The recall began on March 5, 2018. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
