What's wrong?
The Federal Certification Label on a 2019 Heartland Trail Runner or Prowler is the information tag that tells an owner or service shop the trailer's correct tire size, tire load range, and tire pressure. That label is supposed to match the tires and rims Heartland selected for the trailer. It is the reference point used when replacing tires or setting inflation pressure.
On affected trailers, the label was printed with incorrect tire size and tire load information. Heartland traced the problem to a product change that was not carried through to the label data, so the tag did not update with the corrected information. The trailer itself is not described as having a failed tire or rim in the recall; the defect is the incorrect certification information.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is visible only by checking the certification label against the corrected recall information for the trailer.
