Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with optional 17.5" wheels. The affected trailers were manufactured with incorrect information printed on the federal certification label regarding the wheel specification. As such, the trailers do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 119 "new pneumatic tires for vehicles other than passenger cars."

Why it matters: An incorrect label may result in owners attempting to replace the tires with the wrong size or fill the tires to the wrong tire pressure, which may increase the risk of tire failure and a crash.

The fix: Heartland will notify owners, and will mail owners a corrected replacement label, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2014.
