Problem: Gulf Stream Coach, Inc. (Gulf Stream) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Ameri-Lite and Super-Lite trailers manufactured January 11, 2016, through April 11, 2016.

Risk: If relying on the label, an incorrect replacement wheel and tire combination may be installed, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
