KZRV Recalls 2016 MXT Travel Trailers Due to Underrated Safety Chains

KZRV is recalling 2016 MXT travel trailers because the safety chains are rated for less weight than the vehicle's gross weight rating, posing a crash risk if the main connection fails.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (safety chains) that could lead to trailer separation and a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

KZRV, L.P. is recalling certain model year 2016 MXT travel trailers, model 3192, manufactured between December 15, 2015, and March 22, 2016. The recall addresses a defect in the safety chains located on the A-frame, which are rated for 11,700 pounds instead of chains rated equal to or greater than the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).

If the main trailer connection fails, the weight of the trailer could break the undersized safety chains. This failure would allow the trailer to separate from the towing vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

KZ will notify owners, and dealers will replace the safety chains with chains that meet or exceed the GVWR free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2016. Owners may contact KZ customer service at 1-800-768-4016 extension 153 or 154, or contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
