What's wrong?
On 2017 Heartland North Trail, Wilderness, and Mallard trailers, the certification label and tire placard tell an owner or service shop the correct cold tire pressure for the installed tires. That label is part of the trailer's setup information, so it guides inflation checks before a trip and after tire service.
On affected trailers, the tire pressure value printed on the label was wrong because the computer table used for label printing had incorrect information after a changeover. A dealer found a label showing 65 psi while the tire showed 80 psi. If an owner follows the lower label value, the tire is left below the pressure Heartland intended for that trailer and tire combination.
There is no warning sign before failure. The label looks like a normal factory label, so the mismatch shows up only when the placard pressure is compared with the correct tire information or corrected Heartland label.
Who's affected?
North Trail, Wilderness, and Mallard share the same label issue, so the VIN matters more than the model name alone.

A matching 2017 Heartland trailer model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Improper inflation can overload the trailer tires, hurt handling, and increase crash risk. Before towing, confirm the correct tire pressure with a Heartland dealer and do not rely on a suspect label. Repair is free at any franchised Heartland dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Heartland North Trail, Wilderness, or Mallard trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Heartland dealer to schedule the free certification-label replacement that corrects the tire pressure information.
- Ask the dealer what tire pressure to use before towing the trailer, because the original label has incorrect tire pressure information.
- Bring the recall notice if Heartland mailed one. If not, reference recall number 16V332 when you call.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Heartland technician replaces the incorrect certification label with a corrected label that lists the proper tire pressure information. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the label replacement is free. Heartland has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for a related label correction before the recall work was done. Keep any repair paperwork and contact Heartland customer service to ask how to submit documentation under that plan.
