Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Landmark 365 fifth wheel recreational trailers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between September 30, 2015, and October 24, 2016, and are equipped with disc brakes. The recall involves 50 units.

The defect involves the spare steel wheel, which may not properly fit on the axle hub. This improper fit can cause the wheel to rub against the brake line, leading to wear. If the brake line wears through, it may result in a loss of braking or vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steel spare wheel with an aluminum wheel free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2017. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
