Plain-English summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain 2021-2022 North Trail trailers. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the Federal Certification Label is incorrect. This defect allows the vehicle to be overloaded, which can increase the risk of a crash. The vehicles fail to comply with federal certification requirements (49 CFR Part 567).

The recall affects an estimated 26 trailers. If the GAWR label is inaccurate, owners may not realize when the vehicle is overloaded, potentially compromising safety during operation.
