2017 Heartland Sundance recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
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."
💥 The 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.
🔧 The fix
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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
