Details

What's wrong: On certain motor homes built with dewalt/power gear hydraulic hoses used for the slide-out rooms and leveling jacks, the crimping process for attaching the hose fitting to the end of the hydraulic hose was performed improperly.

Why it matters: When one of the improperly crimped hose assemblies is placed under a heavy load, hydraulic fluid could be released in a high pressure spray creating a risk of fire.

The fix: Dewalt/power gear will notify gulf stream customers and will inspect and replace the hose fitting. Owners should contact gulf stream coach at 800-289-8787.
