05 The Ameri-Lite in this site’s records
Spec pages: 34 floorplans on the Gulf Stream Ameri-Lite line page, for model year not stated.
None of the 34 Ameri-Lite floorplans here has separate records for two model years, so this site measures no change between years for this line.
What was queried: NHTSA’s model list for recalls carried no model under this line’s name for the makes we queried, so no recall lookup was made under it. The complete recall file added 8 of the 8 campaigns above, and every complaint count comes from the complete complaint file.
Counts of NHTSA records matched on NHTSA’s own model field; a complaint is one owner’s unverified report, and an empty year is an empty record, not a clean one (how this record is built). Check a trailer by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you buy.
