Details

What's wrong: Gulf Stream coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain 2018 Vintage Cruiser travel trailers, model vn23bhs. The federal certification label overstates the capacity of each axle by 700lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."

Why it matters: The incorrect information can cause the vehicle to be overloaded or result in axle failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Gulf stream will notify owners and will mail them a corrected federal certification label, free of charge. The recall began on June 26, 2017.
