The short answer

NHTSA received Gulf Stream Coach, Inc.’s report on May 14, 2013. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 25, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

A failure of the wiring could result in property damage, fire, or injury.

Gulf Stream Coach is recalling certain model year 2001 Ultra, Conquest, Independence, Ultra Supreme, Yellowstone, and Cavalier motorhomes with floorplans 6316 or 8325.

The motorhomes were manufactured May 17, 2000, through December 31, 2000.

A portion of the electrical wiring may not be properly secured.

This condition may cause wear and possible heat development between the refrigerator coils and the wire.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
