EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2021-2022 North Trail trailers. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the Federal Certification Label, is incorrect, which can allow the vehicle to be overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
- What it can cause
- An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will send replacement certification labels to owners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 4, 2022. 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 26 vehicles this is a small campaign: 84% 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 2021 to 2022, 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 40 times before this, most recently in December 2021 as 21V994000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V591000 (equipment), 22V432000 (equipment), 21V557000 (equipment), 21V453000 (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 March 29, 2022 as campaign 22V199000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
