Heartland Recalls 2007-2009 Cyclone Fifth Wheel Trailers for Labeling Error

Heartland is recalling 2007-2009 Cyclone fifth wheel trailers because the federal certification label lists incorrect axle weight ratings.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as Moderate because it involves a labeling error (incorrect axle rating) that creates a theoretical risk of axle failure and crash if the vehicle is overloaded, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Cyclone fifth wheel trailers. The recall addresses a failure to comply with federal certification requirements regarding the information printed on the vehicle's label.

The federal certification label on these trailers incorrectly lists the axle rating (Gross Axle Weight Rating) as 5,200 lbs, whereas the actual axle rating is 5,80 lbs. This discrepancy could lead to the axles being loaded beyond their specified weight rating, which may result in axle failure, poor vehicle handling, and an increased risk of a crash.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact Heartland at 1-877-262-8032 to schedule a free replacement of the federal certification label with one that lists the correct GAWR for each axle. The recall began on April 12, 2010.
