Returning home from a trip, I noticed right side tire with unusual wear. The tire was nearly bald and about to blow and cause an accident. I took the trailer to the dealer. I was told the axle was not installed correctly from the factory. Had I not caught this, it would have caused an accident. The dealer told me it was a disastrous condition. The manufacturer (lippert components) would not correct this issue.

- What is wrong
- Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain 2011-2017 Amerilite trailers, model 14RBC.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
- Risk
- Incorrect GVWR information may result in the trailer being overloaded, affecting the tires or the vehicle's handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Gulf Stream will notify owners and will provide a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on April 28, 2017. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1‑800‑289‑8787. Gulf Stream's number for this recall is GS040417.
