Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC: Equipment › Recreational Vehicle/Trailer

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC reported this defect to federal regulators on Aug 28, 2020 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 1,409. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.

The defect

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Cyclone and 2020-2021 Bighorn Traveler, and Elkridge recreational trailers. Due to insufficient bracing, the front landing legs may buckle and collapse while the trailer is parked.

The risk

If the landing legs buckle, the trailer will drop unexpectedly, increasing the risk of property damage, personal injury or death.

The remedy

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will install a jack bracket to reinforce the landing legs, free of charge. The recall began October 9, 2020. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032.

What this page is, and what to do next

A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.

This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 20V521000.
