Heartland recalling travel trailers for fire hazard

 

Heartland Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Wilderness and Mallard travel trailers, 2015-2017 Elkridge fifth wheel travel trailers, and 2017 Sundance and Torque travel trailers. The affected vehicles have an LED light on the front cap of the camper that may short circuit and overheat. Approximately 4,500 RVs are affected by the recall.

If the light overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire.

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the light with one that has built-in voltage protection. The recall is expected to begin on September 26, 2016. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032.
