Heartland Recalls Trailers With Inaccurate Tire Certification Labels

Heartland is recalling various trailer models because tire certification labels may contain inaccurate sizing or inflation information, potentially leading to tire failure.

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 (tire failure/crash) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain trailers of various models and model years. The tire certification labels applied to these vehicles may contain inaccurate tire sizing and/or inflation information. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

An owner or operator could rely on the inaccurate information in inflating the tires, which could cause under or over inflation. This condition could, in turn, lead to a tire failure or crash.

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will send a replacement label with the correct information, free of charge. The recall began on September 29, 2015. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-574-266-3988. 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.
