Summary

Heartland Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain model year 2013 Cyclone 3110 fifth wheel travel trailers manufactured May 14, 2012, through June 29, 2012. The vehicles were manufactured with incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) information printed on the Federal Certification Label. The actual Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is 16,000lbs but was listed as 18,000lbs on the label. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to Part 567, "Certification Regulation."

Safety Risk

Towing a vehicle loaded beyond the specified weight rating may result in a tire or suspension failure leading to poor vehicle handling and an increased risk of a crash.

Heartland will notify owners and will provide a replacement label, free of charge. The recall began on September 16, 2013. Owners may contact Heartland at 1-888-262-5992. Heartland's recall number is 99-01-14.
