2009 gulf stream motor home. Solicitors write on behalf of consumer that states the microwave/convention in rv has been wired to an insufficient breaker *tgw the owner's manual indicated that a microwave oven required 15 amps by itself. However, the microwave/convection over was wired on a circuit with several other fixtures, including lights, television and a bathroom outlet. They were wired to a breaker designed to support 15 amps. The microwave/convection oven was constantly overloading the breaker, as it could not support any other item being on at the same time as the microwave/convection oven. *jb ....updated 04/09/12 *bf.

Equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer
- What is wrong
- Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Caribbean, Yellowstone and Independence, 2008-2009 Crescendo, Sun Voyager, and Toy Hauler, 2008 Sun Sport, 2008-2010 Tour Master, 2010 B Touring Cruiser, 2010-2011 Conquest, 2009-2010 Conquest Super C and Super Nova, 2009 Endura and Gladiator motor homes manufactured August 1, 2007 to September 30, 2010. The affected vehicles are equipped with Lippert-brand Coachstep Double and Triple Electric Steps. The bolt that attaches the fan gear assembly to the steps may fracture allowing the fan gear to disengage from the steps. As a result, the steps may not remain in the expected position and may be unstable.
- Risk
- Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Gulf Stream will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer bracket to reinforce the operating mechanism, free of charge. The recall began on March 1, 2016. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1‑800‑289‑8787. Gulf Stream's number for this recall is CS070116.
Recall number 16V007000 · Recall details
Service brakes, air: supply: check valve
- What is wrong
- Gulf stream is recalling 5 my 2008-2008 tourmaster recreational vehicles equipped with bendix sr-7 spring brake control valves. The parker scv brass 90 degree single check valves (scv) which attach to the supply port of a bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valve can break apart. Pieces of the parker scv can become lodged inside the sr-7 spring brake modulating valve, potentially causing either leakage out of the sr-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the sr-7 valve. Also, due to a manufacturing defect in the internal rubber check valve inside the sr-7 spring brake modulating valves, the valves can become deformed and not seat properly.
- Risk
- These conditions could either result in leakage and cause a delay in the application of the spring brake without warning or possibly lead to unintended vehicle rollaway or brake drag which could result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or death.
- Remedy
- Gulf stream is working with daimler trucks to have these vehicles repaired (please see 07v302). Owners can contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-071 or gulf stream at 1‑574‑773‑7761.

Steering: gear box (other than rack and pinion)
- What is wrong
- Gulf stream is recalling 38 my 2005, 2008 and 2009 friendship, scenic cruiser, and tourmaster recreational vehicles equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears. These steering gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
- Risk
- The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Gulf stream is working with daimler trucks to have the steering gear replace (please see 07v343). Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1‑800‑547‑0712 or gulf stream at 1‑574‑773‑7761.
Recall number 08V418000 · Recall details
Suspension
- What is wrong
- Gulf stream is recalling 50 my 2008-2009 crescendo, yellowstone, and tourmaster recreational vehicles equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.
- Risk
- If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.
- Remedy
- Gulf stream is working with daimler trucks and saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (please see 08e031). Owners may contact saf-holland at 1‑231‑773‑3271, daimler trucks at 1‑800‑547‑0712, or gulf stream at 1‑574‑773‑7761.
