The short version

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC reported a problem with the structure. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The official notice describes a safety defect, but the details were not provided in plain language.

WHY IT MATTERS

In the event that the main trailer connection fails, the weight of the trailer could break the safety chains. This would allow the trailer to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the chains, free of charge.
