- The defect
- Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2021 Mallard, Wilderness, Trail Runner and 2020-2021 North Trail trailers. The LP gas lines may not have been tightened properly on the outside cooktops, which could result in a gas leak.
- What it can cause
- A gas leak can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and tighten the LP gas lines, and test the propane system for leaks, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 10, 2021. 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.nhtsa.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 2,486 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 68% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, 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 equipment 35 times before this, most recently in June 2021 as 21V428000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V199000 (equipment), 21V557000 (equipment), 21V428000 (equipment), 21V009000 (suspension).
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 June 17, 2021 as campaign 21V453000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
