Heartland Recalls 2017 Sundance Trailers for Missing Weight Rating Label
Heartland is recalling 2017 Sundance recreational trailers because the Federal Certification label may be missing the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, which could lead to overloading.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a labeling error that creates a risk of overloading and potential crashes, but no injuries or deaths are reported in the source text, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
Plain-English summary
Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain 2017 Sundance recreational trailers. The recall addresses a defect where the Federal Certification label on these vehicles may not list the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
If the GVWR is not listed on the label, the operator would not know the trailer's weight limit. This lack of information may lead to overloading the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.
Heartland will notify owners and provide them with a replacement certification label free of charge. The recall began on March 1, 2017. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
