The defect
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 14x5.5, when the correct tire size is actually 235/75R-15-C with a wheel size of 15x6. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The risk
If relying on the label, an incorrect replacement wheel and tire combination may be installed, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
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.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 16V431000.
