2021 Heartland Mallard recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2021 Mallard travel trailers. The liquid propane (LP) hose and connector may contact the suspension shackle.

💥 The risk

Contact with the shackle can cause premature failure of the LP hose, increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.

🔧 The fix

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the hose to prevent the LP hose/connector from being able to make contact with the shackle. The recall began October 9, 2020. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032.

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.)
