Recall 20V521000

Equipment › Recreational Vehicle/trailer — Heartland · reported 28 Aug 2020 · 1,409 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

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 fix

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.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
