Plain-English summary

Dutchmen Manufacturing, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Coleman, Dutchmen, and Four Winds travel trailers manufactured between May 14, 2010, and June 29, 2010. The recall addresses a failure to comply with federal certification requirements, specifically regarding the information provided on the federal identification tag.

The affected vehicles have incorrect information on the federal identification tag, including the wrong Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), the wrong number of axles, and the wrong Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). This incorrect labeling could lead an owner to overload the trailer, which could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash or property damage.

The safety recall began on August 2, 2010. Dealers will mail the corrected label to consumers or install the label free of charge. Owners may contact the Dutchmen Warranty Service Department at 1-866-869-1109 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
