2000–2004 Dutchmen Trailer recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain traveltrailers equipped with suburban furnaces, the furnace exhaust vent may not be present.
💥 The risk
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.
🔧 The fix
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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
