Dutchmen recall: Wheels
What is wrong
Thor is recalling certain model year 2012 dutchmen voltage and rubicon trailers, manufactured from july 19, 2011 through december 21, 2011. The trailer wheels may not be fully seated on the hub and therefore may loosen and potentially detach from the trailer.
What could happen
Wheel separation can lead to loss of control of the trailer increasing the risk of a crash. A detached wheel also poses a risk of injury to pedestrians and other vehicles.
The fix
Thor will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wheels, and repair the trailers as necessary, free of charge. The safety recall began on january 25, 2012. Owners may contact thor industries, inc. At 1-937-596-6849.
