2015-2016 Dutchmen Trailers Recall 15V207: Wheel Studs

Recall 15V207 covers 2,260 2015-2016 Dutchmen trailers, including Aspen Trail and Passport, for wheel-stud breakage. Repair is free at any franchised Dutchmen dealer.

Dutchmen is recalling 2,260 2015-2016 trailers, including Aspen Trail, Denali, Sprinter, and Passport models, because wheel studs used to attach the wheels to the axle hubs can break. A broken stud can let a wheel detach from the trailer and increase crash risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

On 2015-2016 Dutchmen Aspen Trail, Denali, Sprinter, Springdale, Coleman, Bullet, Cougar, Razorback, Hideout, Voltage, Rubicon, and Passport trailers, the wheel studs are part of the rear axle hub assembly. Each stud is a threaded metal post fixed to the hub. The lug nuts tighten onto those studs and clamp the wheel against the hub so the trailer rolls straight and the wheel stays seated while towing.

The defect is in the studs used to attach the wheels to the axle hubs. They can break instead of holding their clamping load. Once a stud breaks, the remaining studs and lug nuts have to carry more of the wheel load, and the wheel is no longer secured the way the axle assembly was designed to hold it.

There is no warning sign before failure. Before towing, treat any missing stud, broken stud, loose lug nut, or wheel that does not sit flat against the hub as a reason to stop and have the trailer checked.

Who's affected?

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

Broken wheel studs can let a wheel detach from the vehicle, increasing crash risk. There is no listed warning sign before failure, so confirm whether your VIN is included and arrange service promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Dutchmen dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2016 Dutchmen trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Keep the owner notice from Dutchmen before scheduling service, or reference recall number 15V207 when you call.
  3. Contact a franchised Dutchmen dealer to schedule the free wheel-hub replacement that fixes the break-prone wheel studs.
  4. Ask the dealer whether the trailer is safe to tow before the repair if you need to move it.
  5. Call Dutchmen customer service at 1-866-425-4369 with questions about the recall.

What happens at the repair

The remedy names wheel hub replacement as the fix. Once the repair is available, a Dutchmen technician replaces the affected wheel hubs so the wheel studs are secured by new hub assemblies. Parts and labor are covered by the recall. Before taking the trailer in, call a Dutchmen dealer with your VIN and ask whether the hub replacement is open for your specific trailer. If the trailer needs to move before the repair, ask the dealer whether towing or other handling is recommended.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 15V207?

Recall 15V207 covers 2,260 2015-2016 Dutchmen trailers with wheel studs that can break at the axle hub. If the studs break, a wheel can detach and increase crash risk. Dealers will replace the wheel hubs for free.

What should I do if my 2015-2016 Dutchmen Aspen Trail, Denali, Sprinter, Springdale, Coleman, Bullet, Cougar, Razorback, Hideout, Voltage, Rubicon, or Passport trailer is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 15V207. If it is, contact a franchised Dutchmen dealer and ask for recall 15-230. The dealer will replace the wheel hubs for free.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the recall remedy says dealers will replace the wheel hubs free of charge. Parts and labor are covered for included trailers.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is wheel separation. The wheel studs attach the wheel to the axle hub, and broken studs can let a wheel detach from the trailer, increasing crash risk. Confirm your VIN before towing again and schedule the free hub replacement if your trailer is included.

What if I bought this Dutchmen trailer used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the trailer, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your trailer is included, then give the dealer recall number 15V207 or Dutchmen recall number 15-230 when you call.
