KZRV is recalling 2022 Stratus, Connect, Sonic, and SportTrek travel trailers because improperly welded couplers may cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (improperly welded coupler) that may cause trailer separation, which the source states can increase the risk of a crash. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (implied by crash risk).
