- STRUCTURE
- Problem
- 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).
- Risk
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
The safety chains on the A-frame of certain 2016 MXT travel trailers are rated for 11,700 pounds, which is less than the trailer's gross vehicle weight rating. The chains should be rated at least equal to the GVWR.
If the main trailer connection fails, the trailer's weight could break the safety chains. The trailer could then separate from the towing vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. This recall covers trailers built between December 15, 2015, and March 22, 2016.
The repair is free. Dealers will replace the safety chains with chains rated equal to or greater than the GVWR. KZ will notify owners. You can also contact KZ customer service at 1-800-768-4016, extension 153 or 154, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
