- The defect
- Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Conquest and BT Cruiser Class C Mini Motor Homes. Please see the recall report for a complete list of model numbers. The entry door latch may fail and not allow entry or exit.
- What it can cause
- The inability to enter or exit the vehicle in an emergency increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the door latch or install a new lock backplate, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 28, 2023. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787. Gulf Stream's number for this recall is GS032923.
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
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 557 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Gulf Stream vehicles have been recalled over the latches/locks/linkages once before this, most recently in October 2013 as 13V511000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 23V742000 (equipment).
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 March 31, 2023 as campaign 23V231000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
