Recall 11V-005: 2011 Dutchmen Rubicon, 2011 Dutchmen Voltage
DUTCHMEN MANUFACTURING, INC. recall for fuel system, other, reported to NHTSA on Jan 6, 2011, covering about 229 vehicles.
The problem
Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2011 rubicon and voltage recreational vehicles manufactured between august 16, 2010, through december 23, 2011. The fuel shut-off timer modules are defective. The module was supposed to be programmed with a 5 minute shut-off feature, which automatically shuts off the fuel pump after 5 minutes of no activity. The defective modules do not have this automatic shut-off feature programmed into them. This allows the fuel pump to continuously run if not shut off in the initial 5 minute period, causing it to overheat and fail.
The risk
Overheating may lead to fire, property damage, or personal injury.
The fix
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.
