Summary
Heartland Trailer Mfg. (Heartland) is recalling certain model year 2016 18' Carhauler dovetail trailers manufactured December 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016. The affected trailers have clearance lights that are not visible from the rear of the trailer. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Assoc. Equipment."
Consequence
Without visible clearance lights, the trailer is at an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy
Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will install P2-rated beehive-style clearance lamps on the front and rear sides of the trailer, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-573-471-6826.
Notes
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.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Heartland been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Heartland dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
