What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 fire due to a propane leak, which is a significant hazard, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain 2018 Pioneer recreational trailers. The recall involves 561 units where the liquid propane (LP) manifold block may be mounted too close to the center shackle. This positioning allows the shackle to hit the LP hose fitting, which can cause a propane leak.

A leaking LP system can increase the risk of a fire. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, but the hazard involves a potential fire risk from a fuel leak.

The recall began on November 14, 2017. Dealers will re-locate the manifold block further from the shackle area free of charge. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
