- What the dealer does
- Dealers will disconnect and cut the circuit powering the LED backlights and terminate the wiring, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 9, 2024. 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 10,038 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 80% of the 17,628 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 476. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, 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 46 times before this, most recently in January 2024 as 24V018000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V710000 (electrical system), 24V605000 (equipment), 24V315000 (equipment), 24V018000 (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 27, 2024 as campaign 24V236000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
