2026 Gulf Stream Amerilite

Defect. Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain 2026 Trail Boss and Ameri-Lite trailers. Wires in the taillight harness may be reversed, causing the turn signals to activate in the opposite direction as the driver intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk. Turn signals that fail to indicate the driver's intention to change direction increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Owners are advised not to tow their trailers until the repair has been completed. Dealers will rewire the turn signals, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 21, 2026. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning January 31, 2026.

Wheel stud broke off while in transit. Other studs were found to have been over torqued while new. Other wheel studs on same hub had stripped threads. Wheel bearings on both axel hubs had very limited grease. Possible loss of wheel from missing wheel stud and other damaged studs. Limited grease in wheel bearings could cause bearings failure with possible catastrophic results. Replaced hub with damaged studs is available for inspection.
