What this recall means for you
The spare steel wheel on certain trailers may not fit the axle hub properly, so it can rub against the brake line and wear it down. If the brake line wears through, the trailer can lose braking or control, which raises the risk of a crash.
Owners will be notified by the manufacturer, and an authorized dealer will replace the steel spare wheel with an aluminum wheel at no cost. Owners can contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032 for more information. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
