- The defect
- KZRV, L.P. (KZRV) is recalling certain 2018 Escape recreational trailers. The Federal Identification Tag and Tire Inflation Pressure Label indicates an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), and an incorrect tire and rim size with incorrect tire inflation pressure, which can result in the tires being overinflated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- What it can cause
- Overinflated tires may affecting vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.

Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 16 vehicles this is a small campaign: 89% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
KZRV vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 20 times before this, most recently in January 2020 as 20V058000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by KZRV, L.P. with NHTSA on May 22, 2020 as campaign 20V296000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
