2Heartland year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 18 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the tires than any other system: 12 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2012 Cyclone, with 10.
NHTSA holds 79 recall campaigns naming Heartland vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here.
Most complained-about Heartland models
Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.
What goes wrong on a Heartland
The systems named most often across every Heartland complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
