Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. recall for exterior lighting, reported to NHTSA on Apr 17, 2018, covering about 362 vehicles.
The problem

These vehicles do not have intermediate side marker lights and have front and rear side marker lights that are spaced more than thirty feet apart. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
