EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:ELECTRIC WATER HEATER
- The defect
- KZRV, L.P. (KZRV) is recalling certain 2021 Stratus and SportTrek trailers. The water heater circuits were wired with an incorrect size circuit breaker, which may prevent the breaker from tripping, and failing to provide adequate wiring protection.
- What it can cause
- Inadequate wiring protection can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the 20 amp circuit breaker with a 15 amp circuit breaker, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 13, 2021. Owners may contact KZRV customer service at 1-800-768-4016 ext. 154 or 153. KZRV's number for this recall is KZ-2021-02.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
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 117 vehicles this is a small campaign: 68% 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, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
KZRV vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 22 times before this, most recently in January 2021 as 21V013000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V289000 (equipment), 21V670000 (equipment).
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 26, 2021 as campaign 21V397000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
