Details

What's wrong:

Why it matters: In the event that the main trailer connection fails, the weight of the trailer could break the safety chains. This would allow the trailer to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the chains, free of charge. The recall began on June 2, 2016.
