Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain model year 2017 Wilderness, North Trail, and Mallard trailers. The recall covers 618 units manufactured between February 29, 2016, and May 5, 2016. The defect involves certification labels that display incorrect tire pressure information, which fails to comply with 49 CFR Part 567 requirements.

The incorrect tire pressure information can lead to improper inflation, causing the trailer tires to become overloaded. This condition may result in poor handling and an increased risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.
