Defect
Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2022 Lithium, Prowler, and Trail Runner travel trailers, equipped with a 50-amp shore power inlet. The power inlet lug bolts may have been manufactured with excessively hard metal, preventing them from being tightened properly and resulting in a loose wiring connection.
Safety risk
Loose wiring can cause an electrical arc or short, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the power inlet, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 27, 2022. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
