Do not drive: NHTSA safety advisory
NHTSA lists a do-not-drive advisory for this campaign. Owners should not drive affected vehicles until the recall repair is done.
What's recalled
Component: Exterior lighting (turn signal)
Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain 2026 Trail Boss and Ameri-Lite trailers. Wires in the taillight harness may be reversed, causing the turn signals to activate in the opposite direction as the driver intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Turn signals that fail to indicate the driver's intention to change direction increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy and its status
Owners are advised not to tow their trailers until the repair has been completed. Dealers will rewire the turn signals, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 21, 2026. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning January 31, 2026.
Status: NHTSA lists Jan 21, 2026 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.
