On certain travel trailers, the certification label may not contain the correct Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The label incorrectly indicates a GVWR of 1,683 kg (3,710 lbs) instead of 1,338 kg (2,950 lbs). As a result, the vehicle could be overloaded, which would result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Gulf Stream will provide a corrected certification label to current owners and dealers with instructions for proper placement. If owners are not comfortable installing the label themselves, they can take the label to a Gulf Stream dealer for installation.
