Recall 14V069 affects 8 2011 Gulf Stream GT Gulftran Shuttle buses for overheating door-actuator circuit boards. Repair is free at any franchised Gulf Stream dealer.
Gulf Stream recalled 8 2011 GT Gulftran Shuttle buses under recall 14V069 because voltage spikes can damage A&M Systems door actuator circuit boards and create high resistance. That high resistance can overheat the board and increase the risk of a fire, and the Gulf Stream dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The door actuator on the 2011 Gulf Stream GT Gulftran Shuttle is the powered unit that opens and closes the passenger door. Its model 3230 circuit board controls the electrical signals inside that actuator, so the door responds when the operator uses the door controls.
On affected shuttle buses, voltage spikes damage the electrical parts and circuits inside the door actuator. Once the circuit board is damaged, it develops high resistance. That means electrical current has a harder path through the board, and the actuator no longer has the clean electrical control it needs for normal door operation.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall information does not identify a visible cue or change in feel before the actuator problem happens.

High resistance in the affected circuit board can overheat the board and increase the risk of a fire. If your VIN is included, arrange service soon and follow Gulf Stream's owner notice instructions until the board is replaced. Repair will be free at any franchised Gulf Stream dealer once available.
What should I do?
