NHTSA’s units figure is a total for the whole campaign. None of these 15 campaigns names the Prowler alone, so no units figure here belongs to this line and none is shown.

05 The Prowler in this site’s records
Spec pages: 8 floorplans on the Heartland Prowler line page, for model year 2026. None of those years falls inside the federal record above, which runs 2012 to 2024.
None of the 8 Prowler 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 PROWLER for model years 2012–2013. The complete recall file added 1 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.
