- Problem
- Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain 2026 Trail Boss and Ameri-Lite trailers.

Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning January 31, 2026.
What this recall means for you
The taillight wiring on certain trailers may be reversed, so the turn signals can flash in the opposite direction from the one the driver intends. Signals that do not show other drivers your true intention to turn or change lanes make a crash more likely. The trailer also does not meet the federal lighting standard for this equipment.
Owners are advised not to tow the trailer until the repair is completed. Authorized dealers will rewire the turn signals at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed January 21, 2026. For questions, contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787.
