Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC recall for visibility, reported to NHTSA on Nov 30, 2018, covering about 847 vehicles.
The problem
Heartland RV (Heartland) is recalling certain 2019 Heartland Elk Ridge, Milestone, Elk Ridge Express, Pioneer, Sundance, and Sundance XLT fifth-wheel recreational trailers. The forward reflectors on one or both sides may not have been installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
If the reflectors are missing, the trailer may have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
