Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: Heartland rv is recalling 6,002 my 2005-2008 big country, landmark, big horn, cyclone, razor, sundance, and trail runner fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
Risk: If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
Fix: Heartland rv is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or heartland rv at 1-574-262-8030.
Suspension:front:hub
Problem: On certain fifth wheel trailers, the hub weld is insufficient to hold the spindle to the axle tube.
Risk: Spindle separation from the axle tube can occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Heartland is working with lippert to replace the axles on the affected trailers. Owners may contact heartland at 1-574-262-5992.
