Defect Summary: Highland ridge rv (highland) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 highlander, mesa ridge, roamer, and journeyer travel trailers manufactured april 7, 2014, to january 11, 2016. the affected vehicles are equipped with safety chains on the a-frame that are rated for 11,700lb instead of being rated equal to or greater than the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) of the travel trailer.
