What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

KZRV, L.P. (KZ) is recalling certain 2014 Sportsmen, model S290lKSS, towable travel trailers manufactured November 4, 2013 through February 24, 2014. The affected trailers were built with axles not designed to accomodate the weight carrying capacity of the trailer.

The risk

Overloaded axles may result in failure of the suspension or the axle, and/or tire blowouts, resulting in an increased risk of a crash or injury.

The remedy

KZRV, L.P. will notify owners, and dealers will replace the axles with ones that have the correct load capacity, free of charge. The recall began on May 2, 2014. Owners may contact KZRV L.P. at 1-800-768-4016.

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.

A 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.
