2008–2009 Gulf Stream Crescendo & 2008–2009 Gulf Stream Tourmaster + 1 more recall: suspension

⚠️ What's 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.

💥 The 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.

🔧 The fix

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.

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.)
