The problem
Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Conquest motorhomes, model 6280. The Federal Placards on these vehicles may incorrectly state the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) as 14,500 lbs. when the correct GVWR is 12,500 lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The risk
If the operator loads vehicle according to incorrect GVWR on the label, the vehicle may be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.

Gulf Stream will notify owners and will provide a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2018. Owners may contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787. Gulf Stream's number for this recall is 04052018.
