What was wrong

Defect

Heartland RV (Heartland) is recalling certain 2019 Heartland Elk Ridge, Milestone, Elk Ridge Express, Pioneer, Sundance, and Sundance XLT fifth-wheel recreational trailers. The forward reflectors on one or both sides may not have been installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk

If the reflectors are missing, the trailer may have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will install the missing reflectors, free of charge. The recall began December 26, 2018. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032. Heartland's number for this recall is 99.01.43.
