What's wrong?
The Federal Certification Label is the trailer's official tire and weight information sticker. On these 2024 Gulf Stream Friendship, Ameri-Lite, Independence, Conquest, and Trailmaster model 177BH travel trailers, it tells an owner or service shop which tires belong on the trailer, what pressure to use, and the listed GVWR.
The label was printed with the wrong tire information after a product change was not updated correctly. The incorrect label identifies the tires as ST205/75R14D with 3850 pounds GVWR at 75 PSI. The correct label identifies the tires as ST205/75R14C with 3850 pounds GVWR at 60 PSI. That mismatch means the trailer does not carry the required certification and tire-selection information.
There is no warning sign before failure because the defect is the printed label, not a part that changes while driving. Owners notice the issue by reading the certification label and comparing it with the corrected tire size and pressure information.
Who's affected?
All five Gulf Stream model lines carry the same federal certification label component.

A matching year and model line does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect tire information can lead an owner to overinflate the tires. Overinflated tires can reduce control of the trailer and increase the risk of a crash. Check the corrected label before setting tire pressure, and drive cautiously until the label is replaced. Repair is free at any franchised Gulf Stream dealer.
