NHTSA recall 16V819000
Equipment · Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The affected trailers are equipped with aluminum black ladders manufactured by christianson industries that have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge.
Why it matters: If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will install hinge braces over the back of the existing hinges, free of charge. The recall began on December 2, 2016.
