GULF STREAM COACH, INC. recall 04V-380 covers 104 Gulf Stream vehicles for a equipment: recreational vehicle/trailer problem, reported to NHTSA on August 3, 2004.

The problem
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES BUILT WITH DEWALT/POWER GEAR HYDRAULIC HOSES USED FOR THE SLIDE-OUT ROOMS AND LEVELING JACKS, THE CRIMPING PROCESS FOR ATTACHING THE HOSE FITTING TO THE END OF THE HYDRAULIC HOSE WAS PERFORMED IMPROPERLY.
The risk
WHEN ONE OF THE IMPROPERLY CRIMPED HOSE ASSEMBLIES IS PLACED UNDER A HEAVY LOAD, HYDRAULIC FLUID COULD BE RELEASED IN A HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CREATING A RISK OF FIRE.
The fix
DEWALT/POWER GEAR WILL NOTIFY GULF STREAM CUSTOMERS AND WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE HOSE FITTING. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT GULF STREAM COACH AT 800-289-8787.
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
