Heartland Recreational Vehicles is recalling 5,446 travel trailers from the 2022 and 2023 model years because the electric retractable awning fabric may have a defective welded seam. This seam can separate, which may cause the awning to drop suddenly or extend further than intended. Affected models include popular lines such as the Cyclone, Elk Ridge, Prowler, and Sundance, with the recall being managed through authorized dealerships for free inspections and repairs.
If the awning fabric seam separates, the awning can drop unexpectedly beyond its normal operating position. This sudden movement creates a significant risk of injury to anyone standing beneath or near the awning at the time of the failure.
You have 2 options:
Dealers will inspect and repair the awning free of charge.
Dealers will replace the awning if necessary, free of charge.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
