2018 Gulf Stream Vintage Cruiser recalls

Recall 17V-344: Equipment

Reported May 26, 2017 · 272 vehicles affected · Gulf Stream Coach, Inc.

Problem: Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Vista Cruisers and 2016-2018 Vintage Cruiser travel trailers. The Tire Identification Label incorrectly states that the trailers are equipped with ST215/75R 14 Load Range C rated tires when actually they have ST205/65R 14 Load Range D rated tires. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 567, "Certification."

Risk: The incorrect information may cause the user to install the wrong replacement tire, affecting the vehicle's handling, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Gulf Stream will notify owners and will provide them a corrected Tire Identification Label, free of charge. The recall began on June 26, 2017. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787. Gulf Stream's number for this recall is GS250517.

This reduced the gvwr to 6080 lbs., thus reducing the net carrying capacity from 2847 lbs. To 1447 lbs. The remaining capacity--after subtracting 232 lbs. For the weight of the potable water in the tank and water heater--dropped to just 1165 lbs., which is only 45% of the stated…
