What this recall means for you
Certain motorhomes are missing intermediate side marker lights, and their front and rear side marker lights are spaced more than thirty feet apart. This means the vehicle does not meet federal lighting requirements under FMVSS 108, which govern lamps and reflective devices.
Without these lights, other drivers may have a harder time seeing the length and side of the motorhome, especially at night or in poor visibility, which increases the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Dealers will install intermediate side marker lights at no cost. Owners can contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787 and reference recall number 04172018. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
