What's wrong?
The 2012 Dutchmen Infinity uses a 12 volt electrical system to feed power from the battery disconnect switch into a bus bar in the front bulkhead compartment. A bus bar is a metal distribution point that lets one power feed supply other circuits. In this area, the lower section of the bus bar is supposed to carry only the main power feed from the disconnect switch.
On affected trailers, the wiring for the hydraulic pump system's solenoid is also connected to that lower section. The solenoid is the electrical switch that sends power to the hydraulic pump when the system is commanded to operate. Because it is tied into the wrong part of the bus bar, that pump feed is not protected by an auto reset breaker. The breaker is the device that interrupts excess current and resets after the fault clears.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to see a light, hear a specific sound, or feel a change before the wiring problem creates an electrical fault.

What's the safety risk?
An electrical short or ground in the unprotected hydraulic pump circuit can lead to a fire. If your 2012 Infinity is included, schedule the recall repair soon and ask the dealer whether the hydraulic pump system is safe to use before the added breaker is installed. Repair will be free at any franchised Dutchmen dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012 Dutchmen Infinity is included in this recall.
- Contact Dutchmen customer service at 1-574-537-0700 and reference recall number 11V358 before scheduling service.
- Ask a franchised Dutchmen dealer about the free breaker installation that protects the incorrectly routed hydraulic pump power feed from a short or ground.
- Bring the recall notice if Dutchmen mailed one, and keep the trailer's electrical system off until the dealer gives repair instructions.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Dutchmen technician installs an additional auto reset breaker on the electrical bus bar in the front bulkhead compartment. The technician then moves the power feed for the hydraulic pump system to the added breaker so that circuit has the required over current protection. The source remedy says this free service began on July 26, 2011, but the current remedy status is not listed. The dealer repair will be free once available.
