Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain 2021-2022 Mallard Pathfinder trailers.

The incorrect GAWR information may cause the vehicle to be overloaded, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, but the recall covers the 2021 and 2022 model years of the Mallard Pathfinder.
