Heartland Recalls 2019 Travel Trailers Due to Axle Bearing Defect

Heartland is recalling 2019 travel trailers because missing inner bearing races may cause hub overheating or separation, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (axle/hub separation) that increases the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.

Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain 2019 Heartland Mallard, Pioneer, Sundance XLT, Wilderness, North Trail, Prowler, and Trail Runner travel trailers. The recall addresses a defect where the axles may be missing inner bearing races on the hubs.

The missing bearing race may cause the bearing to burnout or the hub to overheat. This can lead to premature hub bearing failure and potentially result in the separation of the hub from the axle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall began on October 9, 2018. Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective hubs with new hubs or replace the axles 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.
