Gulf Stream is recalling 2017-2018 Conquest motorhomes because federal placards may list an incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, potentially leading to vehicle overload.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (vehicle overload leading to crash risk) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.
Plain-English summary
Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 Conquest motorhomes, model 6280. The recall involves 25 vehicles where the Federal Placards may incorrectly state the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) as 14,500 lbs, whereas the correct rating is 12,500 lbs. This labeling error means the vehicles fail to comply with the certification requirements of 49 CFR Part 567.
If an operator loads the vehicle according to the incorrect GVWR listed on the placard, the vehicle may become overloaded. This condition increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Gulf Stream will notify owners and provide a corrected Federal Placard free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2018. Owners can contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
