NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 03V330000.
Defect description
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.
Safety consequence
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.
Manufacturer remedy
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.
