2011 DUTCHMEN RUBICON; 2011 DUTCHMEN VOLTAGE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Dutchmen Manufacturing is recalling certain 2011 model year Rubicon and Voltage recreational vehicles manufactured between August 16, 2010, and December 23, 2011. The vehicles contain defective fuel shut-off timer modules that lack proper programming. The modules are designed to automatically shut off the fuel pump after 5 minutes of no activity, but the defective versions do not have this feature, allowing the fuel pump to continuously run and overheat, which may lead to fire, property damage, or personal injury.
Owners of affected vehicles should contact Dutchmen Manufacturing at 574-537-0700. Dealers will replace the defective fuel shut-off timer modules free of charge. The safety recall began on January 17, 2011.

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.
