2002–2003 Gulf Stream SUN Voyager & 2002–2003 Gulf Stream Sunsport recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes built on the workhorse W22 chassis, the drop down brackets used to attach the hitch to the frame rail extensions may not be adequate.
💥 The risk
In the event that these angle brackets would fail, the hitch and the tow vehicle could become dislodged from the motor home increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Gulf stream has developed a repair kit consisting of steel brackets, spacers, and mechanical fasteners. This kit CAN be sent directly to you or to a repair facility of your choosing. Owner notification is expected to begin during september 2003. Owners should contact gulf stream at 1-800-482-6456, ext. 3743.
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.)
