2006 Dutchmen T@B recalls

Recall 17V-755: Equipment

Reported Nov 22, 2017 · 1,205,997 vehicles affected · Keystone RV Company

Problem: Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling various 2003-2018 Crossroads, Dutchmen, and Keystone recreational trailers equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V755-5127.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf

Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

Fix: Keystone will notify owners and instruct them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-574-535-2100, or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-307.

Recall 06V-491: Equipment

Reported Dec 22, 2006 · 1,939 vehicles affected · DUTCHMEN MANUFACTURING, INC.

Problem: 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.

Risk: This could result in serious injury or death to the occupants of the trailer.

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.

Structure · reported Oct 21, 2008
In my travel trailer I noticed doors not fitting correctly and the counter top being out of level among other things like doors. I looked under the trailer and found that the frame was bent/twisted. The back of the trailer has never hit the ground and it has never hit a curb..I contacted the manufacturer and they want me to send it to indiana from oregon at my cost for them to repair it, that would be over $6000 for me to pay to repair their junk...unacceptable you did not have the model of my trailer so I chose the closest one, my model is aerolite 25' made by dutchmen.
