What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain 2019 Heartland Pioneer and Prowler recreational trailers. These vehicles were built on D28H, D35, D40, or D44 trailer axles.

The recall addresses a defect where the inner hub bearings may not have been sufficiently greased. This lack of lubrication can cause the bearings to overheat and fail. If the bearings overheat, the hub may fail, which affects handling and increases the risk of a crash.

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the hubs and bearings, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 7, 2018. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
