The defect
Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2016-2017 trailers manufactured September 28, 2015, to April 30, 2016.
The risk
In the event that the main trailer connection fails, the weight of the trailer could break the safety chains. This would allow the trailer to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
