What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2011 Dutchmen Komfort Pacific Ridge is the weight label attached to the recreational vehicle. It tells an owner, dealer, or inspection station the gross axle weight rating and gross vehicle weight rating, which are the maximum loaded weights assigned to the axle and the whole RV. Those ratings guide cargo loading, hitch setup, and tire and axle checks.
On the recalled RVs, the certification labels list the wrong axle and vehicle weight ratings. The label itself is the defective part because it gives bad capacity information even when the axle, frame, and related hardware are unchanged. An owner relying on that label can load the RV using the wrong limits, which defeats the purpose of the certification information.
There is no warning sign before failure. You will not hear a noise, see a light, or feel a driving change from an incorrect label; the problem is the printed weight information.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific trailer.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect load information can lead an owner to carry more weight than the Komfort Pacific Ridge is rated for. Overloading raises tire stress, which increases the risk of tire failure and a crash. Check the corrected label before loading the vehicle. Repair will be free at any franchised Dutchmen dealer once available.
