What this means for you
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: This recalls a structural electrical defect in travel trailers where loose power inlet bolts can cause arcing or short circuits, increasing fire risk. However, no injuries, deaths, or confirmed incidents have been reported, making this a theoretical hazard.
Plain-English summary
Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain 2022 Lithium, Prowler, and Trail Runner travel trailers equipped with a 50-amp shore power inlet. The recall affects approximately 129 units.
The power inlet lug bolts may have been manufactured with excessively hard metal, preventing them from being tightened properly. This can result in a loose wiring connection at the inlet.
Loose wiring connections can cause electrical arcing or short circuits, which increases the risk of fire.
