Gulf Stream Conquest Recall 23V231: Entry Door Latch May Fail, Trapping Occupants

NHTSA campaign 23V231, reported March 31, 2023, 557 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2023-2024 Gulf Stream Conquest and BT Cruiser Class C motor homes have an entry door latch that may fail, preventing the door from opening for entry or exit.

If the door cannot be opened, occupants may be unable to get in or out of the vehicle in an emergency, which increases the risk of injury. Owners should be especially cautious and make sure everyone in the vehicle knows how to operate the door manually if possible.

Authorized dealers will inspect the door and replace the door latch or install a new lock backplate, as necessary, at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed April 28, 2023. For help, contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787, referencing recall GS032923, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
