What's wrong?
In the affected 2002-2011 Gulf Stream RVs, the Dimplex Electraflame, Symphony, or Optiflame electric fireplace uses a plug-in remote control receiver. That receiver is the small control module that listens for the remote signal and passes the power command to the fireplace, stove, or insert. It lets the owner control the electric fireplace without using the unit's local switch.
In recall 10V406, Gulf Stream identified the plug-in receiver as the problem part. The receiver can overheat while connected to the fireplace equipment. The filing does not give a deeper root cause, so the important point is the failed part and the condition: the remote receiver gets too hot during use or while connected.
There is no warning sign before failure. If your RV has one of these Dimplex-branded electric fireplace units, do not rely on smell, noise, or a visible change to tell you the receiver is overheating.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
An overheated receiver creates a fire risk. If your VIN is included, schedule the recall repair and avoid using the affected receiver until Gulf Stream or the dealer confirms the replacement is complete. Repair will be free at any franchised Gulf Stream dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2002-2011 Gulf Stream Yellowstone, Sedona, Mako, Prairie Schooner, Caribbean, Kingsley, Super Nova, Endura, Canyon Trail, or Seahawk is included in this recall.
- Contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-888-346-7539 if you never received the owner letter or need the free Dimplex remote-control kit.
- Reference recall number 10V406 when you call so Gulf Stream can match the request to the fireplace remote-control receiver recall.
- Stop using the Dimplex fireplace remote until the plug-in remote-control receiver kit is replaced, because the receiver can overheat and start a fire.
What happens at the repair
The recall remedy is a free replacement plug in remote control kit from Dimplex for the electric fireplace, stove, or fireplace insert. Gulf Stream notified owners about the recall, and Dimplex supplies the kit at no charge. Because the remedy status is not listed as available here, treat the final repair path as not confirmed until Gulf Stream or the service desk confirms the kit for your VIN. Once the remedy is open for your vehicle, parts and any recall labor are covered. Ask Gulf Stream service which Dimplex fireplace receiver is installed before you travel.
