STRUCTURE:BODY:STEP/LADDER
- The defect
- Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Cyclone fifth wheels, equipped with a removable step assembly. The clip-on bracket mounting bolts may come loose, allowing the steps to detach.
- What it can cause
- Steps that detach while in use increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the clip-on bracket, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 19, 2025. 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- 888-275-9171), 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| HeartlandCyclone | 2024 to 2025 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 130 vehicles this is a small campaign: 67% 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 2024 to 2025, 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 2 times before this, most recently in October 2020 as 20V643000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 May 9, 2025 as campaign 25V304000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
