Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have an LED light on the front cap of the camper that may short circuit and overheat.

Why it matters: If the light overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire.

The fix: Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the light with one that has built-in voltage protection. The recall began on September 1, 2016.
