Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

WE HAVE TAKEN OUR 2019 KZ SPORTSMEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL WORK ON THE SOLERA SMART ARM AWNING. IT HAS TAKEN 4 TRIPS SO FAR AND 3 REPAIRS. EACH TIME, THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED WITH THE AWNING NOT WORKING AND THE CONTROLLER SHORTING OUT CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO COME ON DIMLY AND EVEN, ONE TIME, THE LIGHTS CYCLED THROUGH THE 3 LEVELS OF INTENSITY. WE ARE WAITING AGAIN FOR 3 WEEKS SO FAR FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THE PROBLEM TO REOCCUR 3 TIMES SO FAR. THE SUPPOSED FIX FOR THE RECALL IS INADEQUATE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND THE DATE BELOW IS JUST THE LAST TIME WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIR. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT THE SHORTS HAVE NOT CAUSED THE AWNING TO DEPLOY. WE HAVE HAD TO PULL THE FUSE TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING.
