- The defect
- KZRV, L.P. (KZRV) is recalling certain 2018-2019 KZ RV Sidewinder vehicles equipped with a Winntec model 6020 two-stage propane regulator. The regulator may fail, causing an increase in propane pressure.
- What it can cause
- Increased propane pressure can enlarge the flames in gas appliances, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the regulator and test the propane system for leaks, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 3, 2021. Owners may contact KZRV customer service at 1-800-768-4016 ext. 154 or 153.
- 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 100 vehicles this is a small campaign: 70% 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 model years 2018 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
KZRV vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 23 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V397000. 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 June 4, 2021 as campaign 21V426000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
