2026 Gulf Stream Ameri-lite, Gulf Stream Trail Boss: Exterior Lighting recall
NHTSA campaign 26V010000 · 172 units potentially affected · filed Jan 15, 2026
What's wrong
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."
Why it matters
Turn signals that fail to indicate the driver's intention to change direction increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
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.
