Recall 10V334 covers 1,255 2010-2011 Dutchmen Coleman, Four Winds, Rainier, Aristocrat, Dutchmen Lite, and Dutchmen Sport RVs for tire-clearance defects. Free dealer repair.
Dutchmen is recalling 1,255 2010-2011 Aristocrat, Dutchmen Sport, Dutchmen, Four Winds, Rainier, Dutchmen Lite, and Coleman recreational vehicles because the axles do not give the tire sidewall enough clearance from the wheel well or slide room cross shaft. Tire rubbing can lead to tire failure, loss of control, and a crash; the Dutchmen dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The axle assembly on the 2010-2011 Dutchmen Aristocrat, Dutchmen Sport, Dutchmen, Four Winds, Rainier, Dutchmen Lite, and Coleman recreational vehicles holds the trailer wheels in position and carries the trailer's load. It also sets the spacing between each tire and nearby body parts. That spacing matters because the tire sidewall needs room to flex as the trailer moves.
On affected trailers, the axle placement does not leave proper clearance between the tire sidewall and the travel trailer wheel well or slide room cross shaft. The slide room cross shaft is a metal shaft tied to the slide-out room mechanism. When the tire runs too close to those parts, the sidewall rubs against them during travel. That rubbing wears and heats the tire, which can lead to tire failure.
There is no warning sign before failure. Before towing, look for visible sidewall scuffing or contact marks near the wheel well or slide room shaft, but do not rely on those checks to rule out the defect.

What should I do?

- Contact Dutchmen warranty service at 1-866-869-1109 for recall instructions before scheduling dealer inspection.
- Ask the Dutchmen dealer or service department to inspect tire sidewall clearance and perform the free axle-clearance modification if rubbing is found.
- Reference recall number 10V334 when you call, and keep any owner notice with your trailer records.
- Avoid towing the trailer until the tire-clearance inspection is complete if you see tire rub marks near the wheel well or slide room cross shaft.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Dutchmen technician inspects the trailer for inadequate tire sidewall clearance near the wheel well or slide room cross shaft. If clearance is not adequate, the dealer performs the needed clearance modifications at no charge. The source remedy says the safety recall began on August 2, 2010, but the current remedy status is not listed in this input. Confirm repair availability with a Dutchmen dealer or the Dutchmen warranty service department before arranging service. Parts and labor are covered once the dealer repair is available for the VIN.
