What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2011 Dutchmen 315BHDS recreational vehicle is the factory plate that tells an owner and service shop how the trailer was built and loaded. It includes tire information, including the tire size and load range that should be used when replacing tires or checking whether the RV is loaded correctly.
On affected Dutchmen RVs, that label lists the tire as ST225/75R15C when it should list ST225/75R15D. The difference is the load range, which tells how much weight the tire is designed to carry when properly inflated. A lower load range on the label gives the owner, tire shop, or service desk the wrong specification for the RV.
There is no warning sign before failure. The RV can look and drive normally because the defect is printed information on the label, so the problem is found by checking the certification label against the recall.

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?
The safety risk is an incorrect tire choice during replacement. The wrong tire can lead to property damage, so use the corrected tire label before buying or installing tires and ask the dealer to confirm the proper size. Repair will be free at any franchised Dutchmen dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Dutchmen Dutchmen is included in this recall.
- Look for Dutchmen's corrected certification label, which replaces the label that lists tire load range ST225/75R15C instead of ST225/75R15D.
- Call Dutchmen customer service at 574-537-0700 if you never received the corrected label, and reference recall number 11V095.
- Ask a franchised Dutchmen dealer about free label installation if you do not want to install the corrected label yourself.
- Use the corrected tire-load-range label before replacing tires so the RV gets the required ST225/75R15D tires.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Dutchmen technician installs the corrected certification label so the tire load range on the vehicle label matches the recall remedy. Dutchmen also mails the corrected label to consumers, and owners can choose dealer installation instead. The label correction and dealer installation are free of charge. The safety recall began on February 21, 2011, so the repair path is already defined for VINs included in campaign 11V095.
