What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect may lead to fire, property damage, or personal injury, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or risk of such harm.

Plain-English summary

Dutchmen Manufacturing, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Rubicon and Voltage recreational vehicles manufactured between August 16, 2010, and December 23, 2011. The recall involves 229 vehicles.

The fuel shut-off timer modules in these vehicles are defective because they lack the programmed 5-minute automatic shut-off feature. This defect allows the fuel pump to run continuously if not manually shut off, which can cause the pump to overheat and fail. Overheating may lead to fire, property damage, or personal injury.

Dealers will replace the defective fuel shut-off timer modules free of charge. The safety recall began on January 17, 2011. Owners may contact Dutchmen at 574-537-0700 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
