Description:
Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Ameri-Lite and Super-Lite trailers manufactured January 11, 2016, through April 11, 2016. On the Federal Information Certification label, these trailers incorrectly list the tire size as ST205/75D-14-C with a wheel size of 14×5.5, when the correct tire size is actually 235/75R-15-C with a wheel size of 15×6. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, ‘Certification.’
Consequences:
If relying on the label, an incorrect replacement wheel and tire combination may be installed, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
Actions:
Gulf Stream will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected Federal Certification label, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787. Gulf Stream’s number for this recall is GT060816.
