Heartland recalls Mallard, Prowler, Trail Runner and Wilderness trailers

Heartland Recreational Vehicles is recalling 392 model year 2020 Mallard, Prowler, Trail Runner and Wilderness trailers with a bumper-mounted spare tire carrier.

The U-bolt that secures the spare tire may break, and cause the spare tire to detach during travel.

If both U-bolts break, the carrier and spare tire can detach from the unit, resulting in an increased risk of injury and increase the risk of a crash.

What to do

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the spare tire mounting U-bolts free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin July 14, 2020.

Owners may contact Heartland customer service at (877) 262-8032.
