2006 Kzrv Sportsmen

Defect. KZRV, L.P. (KZRV) is recalling various 2002-2018 recreational trailers equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. See a list of the affected trailer models at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V749-9547.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

PURCHASED AS A NEW TIRE AFTER HAVING A BLOWOUT ON THE INTERSTATE. THE STEEL BELTS LOOK ALMOST LIKE A STRAIGHT LINE WAS DRAWN AND THEN CUT. THEY BLEW IN SUCH A PERFECT LINE., NOT RAGGED AS A NORMAL BLOWOUT. I MOVED IT TO SPARE AS THE MANUFACTURE OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE RV REPLACED THE ORIGINAL TIRES AND THEY WERE DIFF BRAND AND LOAD RANGE. *TR
