Defect

Safety risk
Contact with the shackle can cause premature failure of the LP hose, increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.
Remedy
Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the hose to prevent the LP hose/connector from being able to make contact with the shackle. The recall began October 9, 2020. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032.
