- Problem
- Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2017 Sundance recreational trailers. The Federal Certification label on these vehicles may not have the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the label. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
- Risk
- If the GVWR is not listed, the operator would not know the trailer's weight limit and may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Heartland will notify owners, and will provide them a replacement certification label, free of charge. The recall began on March 1, 2017. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032. Heartland's number for this recall is 99.01.32.
- 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.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
On certain 2017 Heartland Sundance recreational trailers, the Federal Certification label may be missing the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Without this listed, the operator cannot know the trailer's maximum allowed weight, so the trailer could be overloaded, which raises the risk of a crash.
Heartland Recreational Vehicles will notify affected owners and provide a replacement certification label free of charge. Owners can contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032 and reference recall number 99.01.32.
If you own a 2017 Sundance trailer, check the certification label for a listed GVWR and call Heartland to request the free replacement if needed. You can also check your VIN for any open recalls.
