Details

What's wrong: In the affected recreational vehicles, the axles may be placed too far forward on the frame resulting in improper weight distribution across the axles.

Why it matters: Improper weight distribution across the axles may result in poor handling, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will move the axles rearward to help with weight distribution on the big horn, and 3800 fl big country, and will add a ballast to the pin box to improve handling the 3900 flp big country, free of charge. The recall began February 16, 2015.
