- Campaign:
- 09V245000 on 06/30/2009
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic
- Manufactured:
- 06/05/2002 - 06/10/2007
- Affected:
- 15
- Defect:
- Gulf stream is recalling 15 motorhomes equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. when combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. this can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag.
- Consequence:
- The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. workhorse is handling the remedy and owner notification for this campaign please see 09v-110. owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731

- Campaign:
- 10V584000 on 11/21/2010
- Component:
- Equipment:recreational vehicle
- Affected:
- 1,328
- Defect:
- Gulf stream is recalling certain recreational vehicles and fifth wheel trailers equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. the population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. the response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
- Consequence:
- The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
- Correction:
- Gulf stream is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. the recall began on march 23, 2011. owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or gulf stream at 1-574-773-7761.
