What's wrong?
The bedroom egress window on the 2020-2021 Dutchmen Yukon is supposed to give occupants a direct escape route from the sleeping area. Its crank handle opens the window and then moves clear of the opening, so the window can be used for exit when the main door or another path is blocked.
On affected Yukon trailers, the window was built with a black round knob instead of the narrow crank handle. The knob is 3 inches around, which leaves too little clearance at the egress opening. In an emergency, that hardware can slow or block a quick exit through the bedroom window.
The warning sign is visible before the window is needed. If the bedroom egress window has a black round knob instead of the narrow red crank handle, the wrong hardware is installed.
Who's affected?
Covers Yukon trailers from the 2020 and 2021 model years, with the same emergency exit window crank handle.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
The bedroom egress window needs a narrow crank handle so it can be opened quickly in an emergency. If the window has a black round knob, opening the emergency exit is harder, which can slow escape and increase injury risk. Check the handle before travel and schedule the dealer repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Dutchmen dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2021 Dutchmen Yukon is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Dutchmen dealer to schedule the free bedroom-egress-window handle replacement, which swaps the round knob for the narrow crank handle.
- Bring the recall notice if Dutchmen mailed one. If not, reference recall number 20V541 when you call.
- Keep the bedroom egress window area clear until the narrow crank handle is installed.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 20V541?
Recall 20V541 covers 130 2020-2021 Dutchmen Yukon recreational trailers with a bedroom egress window that has a black round knob instead of a narrow crank handle. The wrong handle can make the emergency exit harder to open during an emergency.
What should I do if my 2020-2021 Dutchmen Yukon is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 20V541. If it is, contact a franchised Dutchmen dealer and ask for the egress window handle repair. Dealers remove the black round knob and install the narrow crank handle for free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. For recall 20V541, Dutchmen dealers remove the existing bedroom egress window knob and replace it with the correct narrow crank handle free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
