18V852000 · Visibility
Reported: 2018-11-30 (November 30, 2018)
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."
Consequence: If the reflectors are missing, the trailer may have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
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.
