What's wrong?
The liquid propane line on the 2019 Heartland Pioneer feeds gas to the outside cooktop. In the correct setup, that supply line is a rigid metal or copper tube where it enters the stove firebox, which is the enclosed burner area where heat is concentrated during cooking.
On affected trailers, a flexible LP hose was routed into that firebox instead. Heartland traced the defect to an installation that did not match the stove manufacturer's instructions. The flexible hose is the wrong material for that location, so the fix is to replace that section with rigid metal.
Before a failure, an owner can notice damage only by inspecting the flexible LP hose. Look for visible wear, melting, cracking, or other damage on the hose near the outside cooktop. That visible hose damage is the warning sign to report when you call for recall service.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Heat from the cooktop can damage the flexible LP hose inside the firebox, increasing the risk of a fire. If you see damage on the hose during inspection, stop using the cooktop and arrange the recall repair before cooking again. Repair is free at any franchised Heartland dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Heartland Pioneer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Heartland dealer to schedule the free repair for the cooktop LP hose fire risk: the dealer replaces the flexible hose in the firebox with a rigid metal supply line.
- Bring the recall notice if Heartland has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 18V760 when you call.
- Avoid using the outside cooktop until the rigid metal supply line repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Heartland technician removes the flexible LP hose inside the outside cooktop firebox and replaces it with a rigid metal supply tube. That change keeps the propane line out of the firebox area in the way the recall remedy specifies. The replacement parts and labor are free under recall 18V760. Ask the service desk to confirm the work is closed out before you tow the trailer home.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 18V760?
Recall 18V760 covers 368 2019 Heartland Pioneer BH280 recreational trailers with a flexible LP hose installed inside the outside cooktop firebox instead of a rigid metal supply line. Heat from the cooktop can damage the hose and increase fire risk. Heartland dealers will replace the hose for free.
What should I do if my 2019 Heartland Pioneer is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 18V760. If it is, contact a franchised Heartland dealer to schedule replacement of the flexible LP hose with a rigid metal line. Reference recall number 18V760 or Heartland recall 99.01.41 when you call.
Does the recall repair cost anything?
No. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair recall defects at no cost, and Heartland's remedy says dealers will replace the flexible LP hose inside the firebox with a rigid metal one free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is fire. The flexible LP hose sits where heat from the outside cooktop can damage it, which increases fire risk. Until the dealer completes the repair, ask Heartland or the dealer for guidance on using the outside cooktop.
What if I bought the Heartland Pioneer used?
The free repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2019 Heartland Pioneer is included, then call a franchised Heartland dealer or Heartland customer service at 1-877-262-8032.
