SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulfstream) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Super-Lite 19RD Travel Trailers. When the black water holding tank is full, the clearance between the axle and the black water holding tank may be insufficient.
- What it can cause
- Axle contact with the black water holding tank may result in a hole, spilling the tank contents on the road way, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Gulf Stream will notify owners, and dealers will replace the axle with a drop axle to allow more clearance between the top of the axle tube and the black water holding tank. The recall began August 5, 2020. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. Please be reminded that under 49 U.S.C. § 30112(a)(3), it is illegal for a manufacturer, to sell, offer for sale, import, or introduce or deliver into interstate commerce, a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment that contains a safety defect once the manufacturer has notified NHTSA about that safety defect. This prohibition does not apply once the motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment has been remedied according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 22 vehicles this is a small campaign: 86% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Gulf Stream vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 2 times before this, most recently in December 2018 as 18V857000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. with NHTSA on July 13, 2020 as campaign 20V402000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
