2003–2006 Dutchmen T@B recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain recreational trailers, a furnace vent was not installed. The lack of an exhaust vent allows furnace combustion products containing carbon monoxide fumes to vent into the trailer.
💥 The risk
This could result in serious injury or death to the occupants of the trailer.
🔧 The fix
Owners will be instructed to visually check for the presence of the exhaust vent on the exterior of the vehicle. If the exhaust vent is not present or if there are any other questions, the owner will be instructed not to use the furnace and to take their trailer to the nearest dutchmen dealer or service center for repair. The recall began on december 31, 2006. 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.)
