Defect. Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Cyclone travel trailers manufactured July 6, 2014, to September 29, 2015 and 2015-2016 Road Warrior and 2016 Torque trailers manufactured July 18, 2014, to September 30, 2015. The affected trailers are equipped with aluminum black ladders manufactured by Christianson Industries that have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge.
Risk. If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy. Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will install hinge braces over the back of the existing hinges, free of charge. The recall began on December 2, 2016. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032. Heartland's number for this recall is 99-01-28.
Defect. Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain trailers of various models and model years. Click on "All Products Associated With This Recall" for a complete list. The tire certification labels applied to the vehicles may contain inaccurate tire sizing and/or inflation information. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Risk. An owner or operator could rely on the inaccurate information in inflating the tires which could cause under or over inflation which, in turn, could lead to a tire failure or crash.
Remedy. Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will send a replacement label with the correct information, free of charge. The recall began on September 29, 2015. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-574-266-3988.

In the affected vehicles, the bolts that attach the expanding room to the sliding mechanism chain may fail allowing the room to extend unintentionally while the vehicle is in motion.
Risk. If the room extends while vehicle is in motion, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy. Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective bolts, free of charge. The recall began April 16, 2015. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032. Heartland's number for this recall is 99-01-21.

A PRESS RIVET FAILED CAUSING THE STEPS TO NOT BE SUPPORTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN SOMEONE WAS ON THE STEPS CAUSING THEM TO LOOSE THEIR BALANCE. HEARTLAND INDICATED THAT IT IS "OUT OF WARRANTY" AND THAT THEY CANNOT "ASSIST WITH COVERING THE REPAIRS ON THIS UNIT." OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. *JS
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
