What this recall means for you
Some Heartland trailers have an air conditioning electrical connector that may have been improperly installed. This can increase electrical resistance at the connection, causing it to overheat.
Overheating at an electrical connection can increase the risk of a fire. Owners should not ignore warning signs such as a burning smell, discolored or melted wiring near the air conditioner, or flickering electrical problems in the trailer, and should stop using the air conditioner until it is inspected.
Heartland will notify owners, and an authorized dealer will correct the electrical connections at no cost to you. Contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032, referencing recall number 99.01.47, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
