Defect
Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 rubicon travel trailers manufactured from december 8, 2010, through july 15, 2011. These vehicles may have been manufactured with the exterior furnace vent not installed in the sidewall of the trailer. The furnace can run without the proper exhaust ventilation and release carbon monoxide to the interior of the unit.
Safety risk
This could result in asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. The heat build up from the exhaust can also result in a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the trailer to verify the furnace exhaust is present and install one if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on august 26, 2011. Owners may contact dutchmen at 1-574-537-0700.
