Kzrv recall: Structure
What is wrong
KZRV, L.P. (KZ) is recalling certain model year 2016 MXT travel trailers, model 3192, manufactured December 15, 2015, to March 22, 2016. The safety chains located on the A- frame are rated for 11,700 pounds instead of chains that are rated equal or greater than the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
What could happen
In the event that the main trailer connection fails, the weight of the trailer could break the safety chains. This would allow the trailer to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
KZ will notify owners, and dealers will replace the safety chains with chains that meet or exceed the GVWR, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2016. Owners may contact KZ customer service at 1-800-768-4016 extension 153 or 154.
