What this recall means for you
Certain 2021 trailers have water heater circuits wired with a 20-amp circuit breaker when the circuit requires a 15-amp breaker. The oversized breaker may not trip when it should, and the wiring may lack adequate protection against overcurrent.
Inadequate wiring protection can increase the risk of a fire. Owners should stop relying on the water heater circuit until the repair is completed, and should contact KZRV customer service at 1-800-768-4016, ext. 154 or 153 for guidance.
Authorized dealers will replace the 20-amp circuit breaker with a 15-amp breaker at no cost to the owner. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your trailer is affected.
