05 The ElkRidge in this site’s records
Spec pages: 8 floorplans on the Heartland ElkRidge line page, for model year 2023. That year also falls inside the federal record above.
None of the 8 ElkRidge 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 ELK RIDGE and HEARTLAND ELKRIDGE for model years 2011 and 2013–2018. The complete recall file added 0 of the 15 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.
