Problem 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." Risk If relying on the label, an incorrect replacement wheel and tire combination may be installed, possibly increasing the risk of a crash. Fix 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.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. GT060816 is the number Gulf Stream assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V431000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
