**Campaign:** 20V-275
**Manufacturer:** Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC

## The problem

Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC (Heartland) is recalling certain 2020 Mallard, Prowler, Trail Runner, and Wilderness trailers equipped with a bumper-mounted spare tire carrier.  The U-bolt that secures the spare tire may break, and cause the spare tire to detach during travel.

## The safety risk

If both U-bolts break, the carrier and spare tire can detach from the unit, resulting in an increased risk of injury and increase the risk of a crash.

## The remedy

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the spare tire mounting U-bolts, free of charge.  The recall began July 7, 2020.  Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032.
