NHTSA recall 98V283000
Trailer Hitches · Gulf Stream Coach, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Welds have cracked on the frame plate where the hitch tube was welded on each side of the frame.
Why it matters: In the event the welds would fail, the hitch and the tow vehicle could be separated from the motor home, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect these welds and, if necessary, reweld the hitch to the frame plate.
