2007 Gulf Stream Crescendo recalls
Recall 12V-366: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (GSC) is recall certain model year 2006 through 2008 Crescendo, Sun Voyager, Independence, Bounty Hunters, and Yellowstone Class A diesel pusher motor homes built on Freightliner Custom Chassis (FCCC) from March 18, 2005, through December 2009. These motorhomes chassis are equipped with Bosch hydraulic disc brakes which, when exposed to long periods of time of non-driving, may experience diametrical brake caliper piston growth and reduced piston to bore clearance potentially leading to brake drag and overheating resulting in reduced brake performance.
Risk: Reduced brake performance increases the risk of a crash.
Fix: FCCC will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. An interim letter was mailed by DTNA on August 6, 2012. Owners may contact GSC at 1-800-289-8787 or Daimler Trucks/FCCC at 1-800-547-0712.
Recall 09V-141: Fuel System, Other
Problem: Gulf stream is recalling 29 my 2006-2007 crescendo, tourmaster and friendship motor homes built on freightliner custom chassis with certain detroit diesel mbe 900 epa 04 engines. The high pressure fuel lines and transfer tubes may fatigue and fracture.
Risk: A fractured fuel line may leak diesel fuel possibly resulting in a fire or fuel may be spilled on the road causing a slippery surface, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Gulf stream is working with detroit diesel and will repair vehicles with a more robust line and vibration dampers free of charge please see 08v-668. The recall is expected to begin during may 2009. Owners may contact detroit diesel 1-313-592-3708 or gulf stream at 574-289-8787.
Recall 08V-426: Steering
Problem: Gulf stream is recalling 99 my 2006-2007 crescendo, yellowstone, friendship and tourmaster motor home chassis built using inline power steering filters. The filter can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure. This can lead to hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.
Risk: Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Gulf stream is working with daimler trucks to replace the affected filters with a larger filter (Please see 07v570). Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712 or gulf stream at 1-574-773-7761.

Problem: Gulf stream is recalling 68 my 2007-2008 crescendo, tour master and yellowstone motor homes built on freightliner chassis. The aac front axle steering arm bolts with a latch lever pivot bolt assembly may have been over-tightened which may result in fatigue or fracture of the steering arm bolts.
Risk: Should these bolts fracture, the resulting loss of steering control could cause a crash.
Fix: Gulf stream is working with daimler trucks (Freightliner) to repair these vehicles free of charge (Please see 07v306). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or gulf stream at 1-574-773-7761.
