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.

Latest Oct 17, 2013
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.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

Oct 17, 2013
41,415 units potentially affected
The defect: KZRV, L.P. is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 towable travel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 2013 and equipped with Fastec-Brand door locks. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
The risk: If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy: KZRV, L.P. will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on January 31, 2014. Owners may contact KZRV L.P. at 1-260-768-4016 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 KZ SPREE ESCAPE (NA) TRAILER BEING TOWED BY A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCK PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM ENTERING THE TRAILER. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO ENTER THE TRAILER THROUGH THE FIRE ESCAPE WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V490000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AND THE CONTACT WAITED FOR MONTHS FOR THE DEALER TO RECEIVE THE PARTS. THE PART WAS ORDERED AND THE CONTACT WAS STILL WAITING FOR THE REPAIR TO BE MADE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT CONFIRM WHEN THE PART WOULD BE RECEIVED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO GET LOCKED OUT OF THE TRAILER FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT APPLICABLE.
