The problem
Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2011 315bhds recreational vehicles manufactured from march 3, 2010 through january 24, 2011, for failing to comply with the requirements of part 567, "certification." The labels list the wrong tire load range. The size should be st225/75r15d and was listed as st225/75r15c.
The risk
During replacement of the tires, a consumer could install the incorrect tire potentially leading to property damage.
The fix
Dutchmen will mail to consumers the corrected label or the customer will have the option for dealers to install the label free of charge. The safety recall began on february 21, 2011. Owners may contact dutchmen at 574-537-0700.
