STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Milestone fifth-wheel trailers. The outriggers may bend due to loading within the rear storage area.
- What it can cause
- If the outriggers bend, it can negatively affect vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the frame, free of charge. The recall began December 4, 2020. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 104 vehicles this is a small campaign: 69% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Heartland vehicles have been recalled over the structure once before this, most recently in May 2016 as 16V318000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V084000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC with NHTSA on October 19, 2020 as campaign 20V643000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
