What's wrong?
The axle leaf springs on 2021-2022 Dutchmen Coleman travel trailers are stacked steel spring packs mounted at the axle. They carry the trailer's weight, let the suspension flex over bumps, and help keep the axle sitting at the intended height under the frame.
On affected Coleman trailers, the installed springs are rated at 4400 pounds instead of the 5100-pound axle rating shown on the Federal Identification Tag. That means the spring rating does not match the axle specification for the trailer. Under load, the lower-rated springs can lose their arch and flatten out, which leaves the suspension with less room to move.
The warning sign is flattened leaf springs. If the trailer sits lower than expected at the axle area or the spring packs look flat instead of arched, that is the condition owners are meant to notice before repair.
Who's affected?
Both model years use the same front suspension leaf spring assembly named in the recall.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific trailer.
What's the safety risk?
Overloaded axle springs increase the risk of a crash because the suspension no longer carries the trailer as designed. Flattened springs are the warning sign. If the springs look flat or the trailer sits low, stop towing and call a dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Dutchmen dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2022 Dutchmen Coleman is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Dutchmen dealer to schedule the free axle-spring replacement that corrects the lower-rated springs and reduces overload risk.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 23V822 and Dutchmen recall 23-447 when you call.
- Avoid loading or towing the trailer for travel until the repair is complete.
- Call Dutchmen customer service at 1-866-425-4369 with questions about the recall or dealer scheduling.
