Defect Description For Recall
Dutchmen Is Recalling Certain Model Year 2011 Rubicon And Voltage Recreational Vehicles Manufactured Between August 16, 2010, Through December 23, 2011. The Fuel Shut-Off Timer Modules Are DefeCTIve. The Module Was Supposed To Be Programmed With A 5 Minute Shut-Off Feature, Which Automatically Shuts Off The Fuel Pump After 5 Minutes Of No Activity. The DefeCTIve Modules Do Not Have This Automatic Shut-Off Feature Programmed Into Them. This Allows The Fuel Pump To Continuously Run If Not Shut Off In The Initial 5 Minute Period, Causing It To Overheat And Fail.
