Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013 Cyclone 3110 fifth wheel travel trailers. These vehicles were manufactured between May 14, 2012, and June 29, 2012. The recall addresses a defect in the Federal Certification Label, which incorrectly lists the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) as 18,000 lbs, while the actual rating is 16,000 lbs. This discrepancy means the vehicles do not conform to the Federal Certification Regulation (Part 567).

The incorrect weight rating poses a safety risk because owners may load the vehicle beyond its actual specified weight limit. Towing a vehicle loaded beyond the specified weight rating may result in a tire or suspension failure, leading to poor vehicle handling and an increased risk of a crash.

Heartland will notify owners and provide a replacement label free of charge. The recall began on September 16, 2013. Owners may contact Heartland at 1-888-262-5992 for more information. Heartland's recall number is 99-01-14. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
