What's wrong?
The cooktop in the 2019 Dutchmen Coleman and Aspen Trail trailers is the main cooking appliance inside the trailer. It uses burner flames to heat pots and pans on the cooking surface, while the furnace is a separate heat source built into the same living space. The cooktop needs steady airflow around its burners so the flame stays above the burner where it belongs.
In affected trailers, the Capital two-burner cooktop is installed in a cabinet that is not fully sealed from the furnace cavity. When the furnace runs, air movement from that cavity affects the burner flame. The flame can invert instead of staying above the burner, which pushes heat into places that are not meant to handle it and raises the temperature of the cooktop surface.
The warning sign is tied to furnace use. If the furnace is on and the burner flame looks abnormal or the cooktop surface gets very hot, stop using the cooktop until the recall repair is completed.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 19V206?
Recall 19V206 covers 327 2019 Dutchmen Coleman and Aspen Trail recreational trailers equipped with a Capital cooktop. When the furnace is on, the cooktop flames can invert, which can create excessive heat buildup and increase injury risk. Dealers will replace the cooktop for free.
What should I do if my 2019 Dutchmen Coleman or Aspen Trail is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 19V206. If it is, contact a franchised Dutchmen dealer to schedule the Capital cooktop replacement. Reference recall 19V206 and the manufacturer recall number 19-348 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the remedy states that dealers will replace the Capital cooktop with an alternate cooktop free of charge. Parts and labor are covered for included trailers.
What is the safety risk?
The risk is excessive heat buildup at the cooktop when the furnace is running. The official consequence is increased injury risk. Until the repair is complete, watch the cooktop flames closely and stop using the appliance if the flames invert or the area overheats.
What if I bought this Dutchmen trailer used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recalls follow the vehicle, not the first owner, so ownership history does not decide coverage. Check your VIN, then give the dealer recall 19V206 and manufacturer recall number 19-348 when scheduling the cooktop replacement.
