2010 Heartland Sundance

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.

DURING THE ANNUAL SERVICE OF MY 2010 HEARTLAND TRAVEL TRAILER THE SERVICE FACILITY DISCOVERED THAT THREE OF THE FOUR WHEELS ON MY CAMPER HAD SEVERE CRACKS. THE SERVICE FACILITY CONTACTED HEARTLAND AND THEY WERE TOLD THAT HEARTLAND DID NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THE WHEELS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THREE OF THE FOUR WHEELS THAT CAME WITH MY TRAILER (WHICH I BOUGHT NEW) HAD SEVERE CRACKS, IT IS A VERY GOOD INDICATION THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEM. I BELIEVE THAT IF ONE OR MORE OF THESE WHEELS FAILED WHILE I WAS TOWING MY TRAILER THE RESULTING WRECK WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. I THINK THAT THESE WHEELS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THEY CAUSE A HIGHWAY CATASTROPHE. I HAVE ALL FOUR WHEELS AVAILABLE FOR EXAMINATION. *JS
