2002 Gulf Stream Conquest

Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Mar 20, 2012
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

TWO KUMHO TIRES FAILED THAT WERE MOUNTED AS DUALS OF THE RIGHT REAR AXLE OF MY 2002 GULFSTREAM MOTORHOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OVERLOADED AND TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED (80 PSI). WE HAD JUST PURCHASED THE MOTORHOME, FIRST TRIP, AND WERE DRIVING BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH. THE HIGHWAY WAS DRY AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 90 DEGREES F. WE HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 175 MILES WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE TIRES WERE MADE BY KUMHO, SIZE LT225/75 R-16 LOAD RANGE E. IT APPEARS THE OUTSIDE DUAL SEPARATED CAUSING ABOUT $5,000 DAMAGE TO THE COACH, TO THE INSIDE DUAL CAUSING IT TO BLOWOUT AND SEVERING THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LINE. NO INJURIES. THE DOT NUMBER ON THE INSIDE DUAL WAS H21LYD1P1004 AND THE TREAD DEPTH WAS 11. *NM

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
