2021 Gulf Stream Travel Trailers Recalled for Incorrect Tire Pressure Labels

Gulf Stream is recalling certain 2021 travel trailers because the Federal Certification Label lists incorrect tire size and pressure information. Overinflated tires increase the risk of crashes.

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: This is a labeling issue on a safety-critical component with no reported injuries or deaths. However, incorrect tire pressure information that could lead to overinflation represents a direct risk of harm to vehicle occupants, meeting the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. is recalling certain 2021 model year travel trailers including the Vista Cruiser, Vintage Cruiser, Gulf Breeze, Matrix, Streamlite, Northern Express, Envision, and Geo. The Federal Certification Label on these trailers contains incorrect tire size and tire pressure information.

Incorrect tire pressure information on the certification label may lead owners to overinflate the tires. Overinflated tires increase the risk of a crash. These vehicles fail to comply with federal requirements for tire selection and rim specifications (49 CFR Part 567 and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110).

The recall affects approximately 246 travel trailers. All 2021 model year units of the eight affected models are included.

Gulf Stream will mail a replacement certification label and installation instructions to all owners at no charge. Owners were notified by mail on June 28, 2021. For more information, owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
