NHTSA recall 20V275000
Equipment · Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a bumper-mounted spare tire carrier. The u-bolt that secures the spare tire may break, and cause the spare tire to detach during travel.
Why it matters: If both u-bolts break, the carrier and spare tire can detach from the unit, resulting in an increased risk of injury and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the spare tire mounting u-bolts, free of charge. The recall began July 7, 2020.
