2021 Heartland Mallard & 2021 Heartland North Trail recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2021 North Trail and Mallard recreational trailers. The refrigerator roof vents were not routed properly during production.
💥 The risk
An improperly routed vent may allow the refrigerator to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire. Further, exhaust gas trapped inside the vehicle can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, increasing the risk of injury or death.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the roof vent, and repair the vent sleeve connection if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 31, 2021. 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.)
