Defect. Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain 2011-2017 Amerilite trailers, model 14RBC.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Risk. Incorrect GVWR information may result in the trailer being overloaded, affecting the tires or the vehicle's handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy. Gulf Stream will notify owners and will provide a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on April 28, 2017. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787. Gulf Stream's number for this recall is GS040417.

Defect. Gulft Stream Coach (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 Cavalier, lnnsbrook, Conquest, Amerilite, Stream lite, Emerald Bay, Fire Fly, V Stream Ultra, Mako, Gulf Breeze, Side Track, Matrix, Mini Superlite, Zero Gravity, Visa, Capri, Northern Express, Vista, Aztec, Yellowstone, Prairie Schooner, G Force, Max Wide Open, Endura Max, Canyon Trail, Sedona, Ridgeline, Kingsport, Trail Master, Sky and Bull Dog travel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 2013 and equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
Risk. If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy. Gulf Stream will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2013. Owners may contact Fastec at 1-800-837-2505 or Gulf Stream at 1-574-773-7761. Gulf Stream's recall number is 13FI-1013.

RETURNING HOME FROM A TRIP, I NOTICED RIGHT SIDE TIRE WITH UNUSUAL WEAR. THE TIRE WAS NEARLY BALD AND ABOUT TO BLOW AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE TRAILER TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THE AXLE WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY. HAD I NOT CAUGHT THIS, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A DISASTROUS CONDITION. THE MANUFACTURER (LIPPERT COMPONENTS) WOULD NOT CORRECT THIS ISSUE. *TR
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
