Summary: Gulf stream is recalling 26,847 my 2003-2006 recreational vehicles equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
Consequence: If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
Remedy: Gulf stream is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08E032).

Has your Gulf Stream been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Gulf Stream dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
