Transport Canada recalls

Accessories#2021364June 10, 2021
1,722 units affected
Issue: On certain RV trailers, the propane (LP) regulator could fail. If this happens, high-pressure propane could reach the appliances. Note: This recall only affects trailers equipped with a Winntec model 6020 propane regulator. Safety Risk: Unregulated propane pressure can create the risk of an appliance fire. Corrective Action: Heartland RV will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your trailer to a dealer to replace the propane (LP) regulator.
Electrical#2019346July 15, 2019
503 units affected
Issue: On certain travel trailers, the electrical connection for the air conditioning unit(s) may not have been assembled correctly. This could cause the connection to overheat, which could increase the risk of a fire. Safety Risk: A fire could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Heartland RV will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their trailer to a dealer to replace the connector for the air conditioning units.
Brakes#2017535November 1, 2017
33 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the electric brake wiring may have been routed too close to the center spring hanger of the axles. This could cause the wiring to catch or chafe against the spring hanger, and sever the wire. If the brake wire were to be severed for one of the axles, braking would be lost on that axle, which would increase stopping distances, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will relocate and clamp the wires out of the travel of the spring hanger and shackle.
