Dutchmen Manufacturing, Inc. recall 12V-529 covers 740 Aspen Trail and Coleman vehicles for a lpg systems: furnace problem, reported to NHTSA on October 31, 2012.
Source: NHTSA recall 12V529000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
Dutchmen is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Aspen Trail, Coleman, and Dutchmen recreational vehicles manufactured from October 4, 2011, through October 01, 2012. These vehicles may have been manufactured without an exterior vent for the furnace.
The risk
Without proper exhaust ventilation, the vehicle can fill with carbon monoxide resulting in asphyxiation. The heat build-up may also increase the risk of a fire.
