- Problem
- KZRV, L.P. (KZRV) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Venom fifth-wheel travel trailers, models 4040DQ and 4011QK, equipped with the outside kitchen option. The affected vehicles do not have a 12" copper pipe between the rubber gas supply hose and the cooktop pilot light.
- Risk
- Without the copper pipe, the rubber gas line may be too close to the pilot light and get too hot and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
- Remedy
- KZRV will notify owners, and dealers will install a 12" copper extension between the pilot light and the rubber gas line, free of charge. The recall began on June 5, 2017. Owners may contact KZRV 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
Certain 2016-2018 Venom fifth-wheel travel trailers (models 4040DQ and 4011QK) equipped with the outside kitchen option lack a 12-inch copper pipe between the rubber gas supply hose and the cooktop pilot light. Without that copper section, the rubber gas line may sit too close to the pilot light, where it can overheat and melt.
A melted gas supply line can increase the risk of a fire. If you own one of the affected trailers with an outside kitchen, you should stop using the outdoor cooktop and contact KZRV customer service at 1-800-768-4016, extension 153 or 154, for guidance.
KZRV will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install a 12-inch copper extension between the pilot light and the rubber gas line at no charge. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your trailer is covered.
