Details

What's wrong: The wires for the electric brakes may get caught in the spring hangers during axle movement, possibly resulting in the wires being severed.

Why it matters: A severed brake wire would reduce braking capability, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Heartland has notified owners, and dealers will clamp the wires out of the area of the spring hanger and shackle, free of charge. The recall began on November 14, 2017.
