Recall history

2 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

04V015000 · Equipment:Recreational Vehicle/Trailer:Lpg Systems:Furnace

Reported: 2004-01-05 (January 5, 2004) · Model years: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004

ON CERTAIN TRAVELTRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH SUBURBAN FURNACES, THE FURNACE EXHAUST VENT MAY NOT BE PRESENT.

Consequence: WHEN THE FURNACE IS IN USE THIS COULD ALLOW CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES TO VENT INTO THE TRAILER, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGERS.

Remedy: OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE EXHAUST VENT AND FOR HOT EXHAUST AIR ESCAPING FROM THE FURNACE EXHAUST. THE RECALL BEGAN FEBRUARY 20, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DUTCHMEN AT 1-219-534-1224.

NHTSA campaign record ↗

03V179000 · Electrical System:Wiring:Fuses And Circuit Breakers

Reported: 2003-05-21 (May 21, 2003) · Model years: 2002, 2003

ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL AND TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFI) OUTLET WAS IMPROPERLY WIRED.

Consequence: THE FAILURE OF THE GFI OUTLET TO WORK PROPERLY COULD CAUSE A PERSON USING AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE PLUGGED INTO THE GFI OUTLET TO BE EXPOSED TO AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF SUCH PERSON OR THE ELECTRICAL DEVICE COMES INTO CONTACT WITH WATER.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE OUTLETS. IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOBILE, DUTCHMEN MAY AUTHORIZE A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO PERFORM THE REPAIR AT THE SITE OF THE TRAILER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 22, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DUTCHMEN AT DUTCHMEN AT 1-574-537-0700.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
