01 What Heartland publishes for the Corterra
Heartland Recreational Vehicles, a Thor Industries company lists 3 Corterra trailers in its 2025 Corterra brochure. Heartland prints a dry weight for every one profiled here, and each has a page of its own. It prints a GVWR for every one too. Heartland prints no cargo carrying capacity for any Corterra floorplan, and this site does not compute one. (How the data is verified.)

Read from Heartland’s 2025 Corterra brochure, 6 Nov 2026. “Not published” means the maker prints no figure; nothing is filled from another model, year or dealer.
03 Reading Heartland’s figures
A maker’s published weight is for a base trailer; options and dealer-installed equipment add weight to any particular unit. The federal weight label inside the trailer carries its own unloaded weight, cargo carrying capacity and GVWR (49 CFR 567 and 571.120): read it on the unit itself before any towing decision.
05 Recalls
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting this line. The earliest was reported 17 Jan 2024 and the most recent 27 Mar 2024.
| Reported | Campaign | Component | What can go wrong |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27 Mar 2024 | 24V236000 | Equipment | A circuit board that overheats increases the risk of a fire. |
| 17 Jan 2024 | 24V018000 | Equipment | Incorrect tire information could result in the wrong tires being installed on the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. |
Coverage is not complete: this list is a starting point, not a clearance (how it is built), so check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy and again before you tow.
This count covers campaigns NHTSA files under the Heartland Corterra name.
06 Owner-reported problems
A sweep of NHTSA’s complete complaint file — every safety-defect complaint NHTSA has received since 1 January 1995, matched on NHTSA’s own model field under every name this site publishes for the line — found no complaint naming this line. Treat that as no report found, not as a clean record: owners file under whatever name they were sold, and a newer or lower-volume line simply has fewer owners to file.
How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana.
Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.
