05 The Bighorn in this site’s records
Spec pages: 7 floorplans on the Heartland Bighorn line page, for model year 2026. That year also falls inside the federal record above.
None of the 7 Bighorn floorplans here has separate records for two model years, so this site measures no change between years for this line.
Owner documents from the maker: Heartland Owner's Manual.
What was queried: NHTSA’s recall lookup under HEARTLAND BIG HORN and HEARTLAND BIGHORN for model years 2005–2011, 2013–2016, 2018, 2021 and 2023; for 2006–2007, 2009, 2018 and 2021 it answered HTTP 400 with a count of zero, which means no entry in NHTSA’s index under that name and year, not that no recall reached those trailers. The complete recall file added 2 of the 21 campaigns above, and every complaint count comes from the complete complaint file.
Counts of NHTSA records matched on NHTSA’s own model field; a complaint is one owner’s unverified report, and an empty year is an empty record, not a clean one (how this record is built). Check a trailer by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you buy.
