Most common Heartland Sundance problem areas (all years)
Heartland Sundance recalls
Risk: A circuit board that overheats increases the risk of a fire.
Risk: An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury.
Risk: A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
Risk: Electrical arcing between the exposed studs and nearby aluminum ducting can increase the risk of fire and injury.
Risk: Incorrect tire information can allow for incorrect replacement tires, which can affect towing, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Increased propane pressure can enlarge the flames in gas appliances, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: Overheating of the connection can increase the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the reflectors are missing, the trailer may have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Risk: If the GVWR is not listed, the operator would not know the trailer's weight limit and may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the light overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire.
Risk: An owner or operator could rely on the inaccurate information in inflating the tires which could cause under or over inflation which, in turn, could lead to a tire failure or crash.
Risk: Improper trailer balance may lead to uncontrollable trailer sway, increasing the risk of a crash, property damage, and/or personal injury.
Risk: If motor damage has occurred, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the trailer is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.
Risk: There could be a potential wheel failure and wheel loss increasing the risk of a crash, or personal injury.
