What's wrong?
The Federal Certification Label on the 2021 Gulf Stream Vintage Cruiser, Geo, Northern Express, Matrix, Streamlite, Vista Cruiser, Gulf Breeze, and Envision travel trailers tells an owner and service shop what tire size and pressure belong on the trailer. That label is the quick reference for tire setup, loading checks, and replacement tire decisions.
On affected trailers, Gulf Stream installed substitute tires but the printed label was not updated. The incorrect tag lists ST205/75R14D tires with 2200 pounds carrying capacity at 75 PSI. The substitute tire tied to this recall is ST215/75R14D, with the same 2200 pounds carrying capacity at 65 PSI. The load capacity stays the same, but the label gives the wrong tire size and inflation pressure for the tire actually installed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is the information on the label, so an owner sees it only by comparing the trailer's tire sidewall with the certification label.
Who's affected?
The scope spans 8 Gulf Stream trailer lines in the 2021 model year, with both tire and vehicle-label items listed for each model.

What's the safety risk?
Overinflated tires increase the risk of a crash. Before towing, compare the tire pressure on your trailer with the corrected Gulf Stream label and installation instructions, then adjust the tires to the corrected value. Repair is free at any franchised Gulf Stream dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021 Gulf Stream Vintage Cruiser, Geo, Northern Express, Matrix, Streamlite, Vista Cruiser, Gulf Breeze, or Envision travel trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact Gulf Stream customer service at 1-800-289-8787 to confirm the free replacement certification label and installation instructions for the tire size and tire pressure information.
- Replace the incorrect certification label before relying on the trailer's tire pressure label, since the corrected label fixes the listed tire size and tire pressure.
- Bring or mention recall number 21V343 when you contact Gulf Stream or ask a service center for help with the label.
- Set tire pressure from the corrected label after it is installed, and avoid using the old label for inflation guidance.

Gulf Stream handles this recall by mail, not through a described dealer repair.
