NHTSA recall 13V394000
Equipment · Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The vehicles were manufactured with incorrect gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) information printed on the federal certification label. The actual gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) is 16,000lbs but was listed as 18,000lbs on the label. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to part 567, "certification regulation."
Why it matters: Towing a vehicle loaded beyond the specified weight rating may result in a tire or suspension failure leading to poor vehicle handling and an increased risk of a crash.
The fix: Heartland will notify owners and will provide a replacement label, free of charge. The recall began on September 16, 2013.
