Kzrv Sportsmen Sportster Recall 17V645: Tire Can Rub Slide-Out Support Arm, Risking Crash

NHTSA campaign 17V645, reported October 12, 2017, 19 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2017-2018 trailers have too little clearance between the slide-out support arm and the tires. While the trailer is being towed, axle movement can allow a tire to contact the support arm, and the contact can damage the tire.

A damaged tire increases the risk of a crash. Owners should watch for signs of tire contact and damage, and have the trailer checked promptly.

The repair is free: KZRV will notify owners, and authorized dealers will modify the slide-room support arm to provide proper clearance. Owners can contact KZRV customer service at 1-800-768-4016, extensions 154 or 153. Check your VIN for open recalls.
