What this recall means for you
The in-dash radio unit in certain motorhomes was wired incorrectly, so the built-in DVD monitor can operate and be viewed while the vehicle is in motion. A visible video screen can pull the driver's attention away from the road, which raises the risk of a crash.
Dealers will disable viewing of the DVD monitor while the vehicle is being driven. The repair is free. Gulf Stream will notify owners of affected vehicles, and you can contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787 and reference recall number GM112316. The recall began on December 16, 2016.
If you own a model year 2016 or 2017 Gulf Stream Conquest or B Touring Cruiser, check whether your motorhome is included and whether it has any open recalls by checking your VIN.
