What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2017 Dutchmen Voltage, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

WESTLAKE TIRES FAILING ' OPERATING TIRE PRESSURE: 80PSI COLD ' AVG OPERATING SPEED: 55-60MPH ' TRAILER LOAD: LIGHT, NO TOY IN THE REAR ' EEZTIRE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM - 4 SENSORS NOVEMBER 1, 2017 ' APPROX MILEAGE AT TIME OF INCIDENT: 1,300 MILES SINCE PURCHASE DATE LEFT ON NOV 1, 2017 FOR A TRIP FROM CA TO CO. BEING VERY WEARY OF THE TIRES FROM ALL THE REPORTS I HAD BEEN READING, I ALWAYS CHECK THE TIRE FOR WEAR AT EVERY STOP. UPON ARRIVING IN HEBER CITY, UTAH WE NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE TIRES (DRIVER-SIDE FRONT) WAS WEARING STRANGE. THE OUTER TREAD WAS WORN MORE THAN THE REST OF THE TIRE. WE MADE THE DECISION TO CONTINUE ON THE FINAL 200 MILES TO OUR DESTINATION. WE MADE SEVERAL STOPS PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE TIRE WEAR. ONCE ARRIVING, I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AT BIG O TIRES IN CRAIG, COLORADO. JUNE 18, 2018 ' APPROX MILEAGE AT TIME OF INCIDENT: 2,500 MILES SINCE PURCHASE DATE ON OUR RETURN TRIP FROM CO TO CA ON JUNE 20, 2018, WE STOPPED IN HEBER CITY, UTAH FOR FUEL. UPON CHECKING THE TIRES, I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE WESTLAKE TIRES HAD LOST APPROX 40% OF A COMPLETE SECTION OF TREAD, ONLY THE STEEL CORDS WERE LEFT. THE TIRE HAD NOT LOST TIRE PRESSURE NOR HAD THE TEMP CLIMBED TO RAISE THE ALARM ON THE TPMS SYSTEM. LUCKY WE HAD CAUGHT THIS BEFORE THE TIRE BLEW APART AND CAUSED ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY. WE PROCEEDED TO A LES SCHWAB TIRE CENTER LESS THAN MILE AWAY WHERE I HAD ALL 4 TIRES REPLACED WITH SAILUN 14PLY TIRES. THESE TIRES HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THEM. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THESE TIRES FAILING. THEY ARE SEVERELY OVER-RATED AND NEED TO BE PULLED OFF THE MARKET AND A NATION-WIDE RECALL ISSUED, HOPEFULLY BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES THEIR LIFE.

LEAF SPRING HANGERS ARE BENDING FROM TURNS DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND NO REINFORCEMENT. AFTER SO MANY TIMES THAT THEY BEND BACK AND FORTH STRESS POINTS ARE CREATED AND THE METAL FATIGUES AND SNAPS, AND THE SUSPENSION AND AXLE BECOMES UNHINGED FROM THE TRAILER AT THE POINT OF FAILURE WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PERSONS TOWING IT, CREATING ERRATIC HANDLING. IF ANY OF THE OTHER 3 SPRING HANGERS TO THAT AXLE HAS THE SAME FAILURE THE WHOLE AXLE CAN COME UNATTACHED TO THE TRAILER. THEIR ARE COMPANY'S THAT ARE MAKING AND SELLING AFTERMARKET PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE MANUFACTURER IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT SO FAR.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
