What this recall means for you
Some 2019 Heartland fifth-wheel recreational trailers may be missing the forward reflectors on one or both sides. Without them, the trailer does not meet federal lighting and reflective device requirements, and it may be harder for other drivers to see it, which raises the risk of a crash.
Heartland will notify affected owners, and an authorized dealer will install the missing reflectors at no cost to you. The recall began December 26, 2018. To check whether your trailer is included, contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032 and reference recall number 99.01.43, and check your VIN for open recalls.
