2014 Sportsmen 290Ikss recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
KZRV, L.P. (KZ) is recalling certain 2014 Sportsmen, model S290lKSS, towable travel trailers manufactured November 4, 2013 through February 24, 2014. The affected trailers were built with axles not designed to accomodate the weight carrying capacity of the trailer.
💥 The risk
Overloaded axles may result in failure of the suspension or the axle, and/or tire blowouts, resulting in an increased risk of a crash or injury.
🔧 The fix
KZRV, L.P. will notify owners, and dealers will replace the axles with ones that have the correct load capacity, free of charge. The recall began on May 2, 2014. Owners may contact KZRV L.P. at 1-800-768-4016.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
