What's wrong?
The fuel shut-off timer module on 2011 Dutchmen Rubicon and Voltage recreational vehicles controls how long the fuel pump keeps running after the fueling system is no longer being used. Its normal job is to shut the pump off after 5 minutes with no activity, so the pump does not keep running unattended.
On the recalled vehicles, the module was not programmed with that automatic 5 minute shut-off feature. If the fuel pump is left on past that first 5 minute period, it keeps running instead of timing out. That continuous operation causes the pump to overheat and fail.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is inside the timer module programming, so an owner will not get a clear symptom until the pump has already been left running and has overheated or stopped working.
Who's affected?
Both model lines are listed under the same fuel-system component.

What happens at the repair
Dutchmen's listed remedy is replacement of the defective fuel shut-off timer modules. At the dealer, a Dutchmen technician removes the timer module tied to the fuel pump shut-off feature and installs a replacement module so the pump has the automatic shut-off function described in the recall. The dealer repair is free once available. The recall notice says the safety recall began on January 17, 2011. Contact Dutchmen or the servicing dealer for the current parts and scheduling status.
