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.
