What's wrong?
The fuel line on the 2015 Dutchmen Rubicon trailer carries gasoline from the fuel tank toward the generator fuel filter. The clamp at each connection is supposed to hold the hose tight on its fitting so fuel stays inside the line while the trailer is parked, moving, or running the generator.
On affected trailers, the clamp was installed incorrectly at the generator fuel filter and the fuel tank. That bad clamp position lets the hose work loose instead of staying seated on the fitting. If the line disconnects, fuel delivery to the generator is interrupted and fuel can leave the line at the loose connection.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a clear symptom before the fuel line separates.

What's the safety risk?
A disconnected generator fuel line at the fuel filter or fuel tank lets fuel leak and increases the risk of a fire. Avoid using the generator until the fuel line clamp is inspected and repaired. Repair will be free at any franchised Dutchmen dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Dutchmen Rubicon is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Dutchmen dealer to ask whether recall 14V640 service is open for your VIN.
- Schedule the free fuel-line-clamp inspection and repositioning that secures the generator and fuel-tank fuel line.
- Bring the recall notice if Dutchmen mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V640 when you call.
- Park away from open flames and ignition sources until the fuel-line clamp repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
The dealer repair will be free once available. At the dealer, a Dutchmen technician will inspect the fuel line clamp at the generator fuel filter and at the fuel tank. If the clamp is installed incorrectly, the technician repositions it so the fuel line stays secured. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Keystone lists this as recall 14-218 for dealer reference.
