- The 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.

2011 Dutchmen Voltage recalls 5
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- 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.
- The problem
- Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2011 travel trailers manufactured from june 10, 2010, through september 3, 2010, and equipped with siemens and murray one inch plug-in circuit breakers. The "spring clip" plug-in assembly may break or fail to provide sufficient force to maintain a proper electrical connection in the panel board.
- The risk
- This could lead to excessive temperature, arcing or thermal damage at the connection point, and potential damage to the panel board's electrical insulation which could lead to fire, property damage, or personal injury.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the breakers and replace as necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on december 6, 2010. Owners may contact dutchmen warranty service department at 1-574-537-0700.
- The problem
- Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 grand junction and 2011 voltage recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
- The risk
- The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
- The fix
- Dutchmen is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on december 10, 2010. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or dutchmen at 1-574-537-0700.
- The problem
- Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2011 voltage fifth wheel travel trailers manufactured from august 13, 2010, through september 29, 2010, equipped with atwood 35 series range ovens. A potential exists for a small fracture within the line delivering gas to the oven cavity burner. Such a fracture may cause propane gas to leak from the line.
- The risk
- A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and/or explosion causing property damage and/or personal injury.
- The fix
- Dutchmen is working with atwood and will replace or repair the stoves free of charge. The safety recall began on november 4, 2010. Owners may contact atwood at 1-574-266-4749 or dutchmen warranty service department at 866-869-1109.

1 complaints about the 2011 Dutchmen Voltage
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
This is a toyhauler rv and in the garage area there are two bunk beds that are stored up next to the ceiling. There is a light right above the top bunk bed. We had stored our winter blankets and sleeping beds on the top bunk where they were out of the way and we did not use the top bunk anyhow. The light got left on accidentally left on. The fixture got hot and set the blanks and sleeping bags on fire. We were lucky that it was just a smoldering fire, and only sustained damage to the ceiling and light fixtures...

and lost all of the winter blankets and sleeping bags. Just a note that it may not a good idea to have this light were it is positioned as it can be left on by accident. Thanks *tr
