What's wrong?
The Federal Placard label on a 2017 Gulf Stream Serro Scotty is the weight label that tells an owner the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR. GVWR is the maximum loaded weight the trailer is rated to carry, including the trailer itself, cargo, water, and supplies.
On affected trailers, that label lists the wrong GVWR because the load capacity was calculated from the axle rating instead of the tire capacity. The axle was rated at 3500 lbs, but the ST175/80D13C tires together were rated at 2720 lbs, based on 2 tires at 1360 lbs each. That means an owner following the label can load the trailer beyond what the tires are rated to carry.
Before a tire fails, the warning signs are tied to the tires, not the label. Owners can see irregular tire wear, tire overheating after towing, or other tire damage when the trailer has been overloaded.

Not every 2017 Gulf Stream Serro Scotty trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect GVWR information can lead an owner to load the trailer beyond its rating. Overloading affects tire wear, raises tire temperature, and changes handling, increasing the risk of a crash. Treat unusual tire wear, heat, or towing instability as a reason to stop towing and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Gulf Stream dealer.
