2003 Gulf Stream Motorhome recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes equipped with T-1 thermal circuit breakers, surface mount and panel mount, if the circuit breaker handle is held in the "on" position after the unit is tripped and the circuit contacts weld together, heat may be generated that may damage attached or adjacent wiring creating a risk of fire.
💥 The risk
In the event of a fire, serious injury or possibly death could occur.
🔧 The fix
Gulf stream will replace the defective circuit breakers with bussman 185 series circuit breakers free of charge. These circuit breakers CAN be sent directly to you or to a repair facility of your choosing. Owner notification began september 15, 2003. Owners should contact gulf stream at 1-800-482-6456.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
