What happened

Dutchmen Manufacturing is recalling certain 2011 model year Coleman, Dutchmen, and Four Winds travel trailers manufactured between May 14, 2010 and June 29, 2010. These trailers have incorrect information on the federal identification label, specifically listing wrong gross axle weight rating (GAWR), wrong number of axles, and wrong gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). This incorrect labeling could lead owners to overload their trailers, which increases the risk of losing vehicle control and causing a crash or property damage.

Owners of affected trailers should contact the Dutchmen Warranty Service Department at 1-866-869-1109. The remedy involves either having a corrected label mailed to the consumer or having a dealer install the corrected label free of charge. The recall began on August 2, 2010.
