Recall 10V347 affects 135 2011 Dutchmen, Coleman, and Four Winds travel trailers with incorrect weight labels. Corrected labels are free from any franchised Dutchmen dealer.
Dutchmen is recalling 135 2011 Coleman, Dutchmen, and Four Winds travel trailers because the federal identification tag lists the wrong gross axle weight rating, axle count, and gross vehicle weight rating.

What's wrong?
The federal identification tag on these 2011 Dutchmen, Coleman, and Four Winds travel trailers is the label that tells an owner and service shop the trailer's certified weight limits. It lists the gross axle weight rating, which is the allowed load on each axle, and the gross vehicle weight rating, which is the allowed total loaded weight of the trailer.
On affected trailers, that tag was printed with the wrong weight-rating information. The label lists the wrong gross axle weight rating, the wrong axle count, and the wrong gross vehicle weight rating. If an owner loads the trailer using that label, the trailer can be overloaded without the owner realizing it.
The problem is incorrect printed information, not a part that makes noise or changes how the trailer feels on the road. There is no warning sign before failure. The safest way to treat the label is as unreliable until the corrected certification tag is installed.
Who's affected?
Covers three Dutchmen model lines from the same model year, all tied to the same vehicle label issue.
| 2011 Dutchmen Dutchmen | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2011 Dutchmen Coleman | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| 2011 Dutchmen Four Winds | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 135 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect label can leave you with the wrong cargo limit, and overloading the trailer can lead to loss of vehicle control, a crash, or property damage. Do not load the trailer using the incorrect label; ask for the corrected label before hauling cargo. Repair will be free at any franchised Dutchmen dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Dutchmen travel trailer, including Dutchmen, Coleman, or Four Winds models, is included in this recall.
- Contact Dutchmen warranty service to ask whether the corrected federal identification label is available for your trailer.
- Reference recall number 10V347 when you call so Dutchmen or the dealer can match the label recall to your VIN.
- Schedule the free corrected-label installation with a franchised Dutchmen dealer, or ask Dutchmen to mail the corrected label if that is the option offered for your trailer.
- Avoid loading the trailer from the incorrect federal identification tag. Use the corrected gross axle weight rating, axle count, and gross vehicle weight rating once Dutchmen provides the label.
What happens at the repair
For this recall, Dutchmen sends owners a corrected federal identification label. If you want the dealer to handle it, a Dutchmen technician installs the corrected label at no charge. The label corrects the trailer's GAWR, GVWR, and axle count information, so the certification tag matches the trailer instead of showing ratings that create an overload risk. The remedy record says Dutchmen began the safety recall on August 2, 2010. Parts and labor are covered under the recall.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 10V347?
Recall 10V347 covers 135 2011 Dutchmen, Coleman, and Four Winds travel trailers with incorrect federal identification tags. The label lists the wrong axle rating, axle count, and vehicle weight rating, which can lead an owner to overload the trailer.
What should I do if my 2011 Dutchmen Dutchmen, Coleman, or Four Winds is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific travel trailer is included in recall 10V347. If it is, contact a Dutchmen dealer or the Dutchmen warranty service department at 1-866-869-1109. The corrected label is free, and a dealer can install it.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to correct the recall at no cost. Dutchmen dealers will mail the corrected federal identification label to owners, or install the label free of charge if the owner chooses dealer installation.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is trailer overloading. If the federal identification tag shows the wrong GAWR, axle count, or GVWR, an owner can load the trailer beyond its correct rating. Overloading can cause loss of vehicle control, increasing crash or property damage risk.
What if I bought this travel trailer used?
The free correction still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2011 Dutchmen, Coleman, or Four Winds travel trailer is included, then reference recall 10V347 when you contact a Dutchmen dealer.
