Dutchmen recall: Power train
What is wrong
Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 coleman, dutchmen, and four winds, model year 2010 aristocrat, dutchmen lite, dutchmen sport and model year 2011 rainier recreational vehicles manufactured from november 2, 2009 through may 5, 2010. These vehicles were manufactured with axles that may not provide the proper tire sidewall clearance to the travel trailer wheel well or slide room cross shaft. If the proper tire sidewall clearance is not maintained, the tire could rub on the trailer wheel well or slide room cross shaft and result in a tire failure.
What could happen
A tire failure could result in loss of control of the vehicle resulting in a crash of the vehicle.
The fix
Dealers will inspect vehicles and if inadequate sidewall tire clearance is found modifications will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on august 2, 2010. Owners may contact the dutchmen warranty service department at 1-866-869-1109.
