Defect

KZRV, L.P. (KZRV) is recalling certain model year 2015 Venom, Inferno, Sportsmen, Sportster, MXT and SportTrek trailers manufactured July 1, 2014, to August 31, 2015, equipped with certain aluminum black ladders manufactured by Christianson Industries. The affected ladders have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge.

Consequence

If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

KZRV will notify owners, and dealers will install a hinge brace over the back of the existing hinges, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2016. Owners may contact KZRV customer service at 1-800-768-4016, extension 154 or 153.
