What NHTSA recorded

Heartland has notified nhtsa of a noncompliance on certain model year 2010-2011 trail runner and north country travel trailers for failing to comply with the requirements of part 567, "certification." the federal identification label does not contain the correct gross axle weight rating (gawr) information. The label states the gawr for each axle to be 5,200 lbs when the actual gawr is 5,080 lbs.

Possible consequence

Towing a vehicle with the axles loaded beyond the specified weight rating may result in axle failure leading to poor vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage or personal injury.

Remedy

Dealers will mail to consumers the corrected label or the customer will have the option for dealers to install the label free of charge. The recall began on may 14, 2010. Owners may contact heartland warranty/service department by email at [email protected], or by phone at 1-877-262-8032.
