“Heartland 2018 Pioneer Recreational Trailers: Propane Leak Fire Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated October 7, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1224967-heartland-2018-pioneer-recreational-trailers-propane-leak-fire-risk. Based on NHTSA recall #17V511000 (https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=17V511000).

Why it’s dangerous

The propane hose may not be securely fastened to the frame near the tire. If the tire rubs against the hose, it can cause the hose to wear through, leading to a propane leak. This leak could then cause a fire.

Who’s affected

Owners of 2018 Heartland Pioneer recreational trailers (models RD210, BH270, BH250) are affected. Those who have the trailer without the proper hose clamp installation are at higher risk.

How to tell if you have this one
