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.

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE FALLEN OFF OF MY BRAND NEW HEARTLAND WILDERNESS RV, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE WHILE IN TRANSIT ON THE HIGHWAY: SPARE TIRE COVER, HOLDING TANK DRAIN CAP, EXTERNAL PROPANE GAS QUICK CONNECT COUPLING, STABILIZER MOUNTING SCREWS, BUMPER END CAP, LICENSE PLATE MOUNTING BRACKET, GATE VALVE T-HANDLE. THESE ITEMS FELL OFF OVER A PERIOD OF TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE RV NEW IN APRIL OF 2014. WHETHER THIS IS DUE TO LACK OF DEALER PREPARATION(CAMPING WORLD OF ASHEVILLE, NC OR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS(HEARTLAND) I CAN NOT THEORIZE. IN MY OPINION THESE INCIDENTS PRESENT A DANGER NOT ONLY TO MYSELF BUT MY FELLOW TRAVELERS ON THE HIGHWAYS.

Reading this record

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.
