Heartland Recalls Sundance 2880RLT Travel Trailers Due to Incorrect Weight Label

Heartland is recalling 2014 Sundance 2880RLT travel trailers because the Federal Certification label lists an incorrect gross vehicle weight rating, posing a crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect (incorrect weight label) could lead to tire/suspension failure and a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Sundance 2880RLT travel trailers manufactured between November 20, 2013, and January 31, 2014. The recall involves 29 vehicles where the Federal Certification label incorrectly states the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) as 16,500 pounds instead of the correct 13,500 pounds. This error means the vehicle does not conform to Part 567, "Certification."

The incorrect weight rating may lead owners to load the trailer beyond its specified limits. Overloading can cause tire or suspension failure, resulting in poor vehicle handling and an increased risk of a crash.

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect Federal Certification label with a corrected version free of charge. The recall began on March 10, 2014. Owners may contact Heartland at 1-888-262-5992 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
