The defect
KZRV, L.P. (KZRV) is recalling certain 2017-2018 KZRV Sportsmen Sportster trailers. There is insufficient clearance between the slide out support arm and the vehicle tires. While the trailer is being towed, the axle travel can allow the tire to contact the support arm.
The risk
Tire contact with the slide support arm adjustment bolt may damage the tire, increasing the risk of a crash.
