2016–2018 Kzrv Venom recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
KZRV, L.P. (KZRV) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Venom fifth-wheel travel trailers, models 4040DQ and 4011QK, equipped with the outside kitchen option. The affected vehicles do not have a 12" copper pipe between the rubber gas supply hose and the cooktop pilot light.
💥 The risk
Without the copper pipe, the rubber gas line may be too close to the pilot light and get too hot and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
🔧 The fix
KZRV will notify owners, and dealers will install a 12" copper extension between the pilot light and the rubber gas line, free of charge. The recall began on June 5, 2017. Owners may contact KZRV customer service at 1-800-768-4016, extension 153 or 154.
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.)
