What's wrong?
The awning light circuit on 2017-2018 Kzrv Connect, Spree, and Sport Trek trailers powers the exterior lights mounted at the awning. A 2 amp fuse is supposed to sit in that circuit and act as a weak link. If electrical current rises above the protected limit, the fuse opens the circuit instead of letting the wiring keep carrying that load.
On affected trailers, the awning lights were built without that 2 amp fuse. Kzrv traced the problem to manufacturing-floor training, then reviewed production records to identify trailers built after the last confirmed fuse installation. The defect is not a bad light or switch; it is missing circuit protection in the wiring for the awning lights. A corrected trailer has the required 2 amp fuse installed.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not expect a dashboard message, visible damage, or a light problem to confirm that the fuse is missing.
Who's affected?
Covers Connect, Spree, and Sport Trek trailers across the 2017-2018 model years, all tied to the same wiring and fuse/circuit-breaker component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Excessive current in an unfused wire can overheat the wire and increase the risk of a fire. There is no warning sign before the wiring overheats, so if your VIN is included, schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Kzrv dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2018 Kzrv Connect, Spree, or Sport Trek trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Kzrv dealer to schedule the free 2 amp fuse assembly installation that protects the awning-light wiring from overheating.
- Bring the recall notice if Kzrv mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V556 when you call.
- Avoid using the awning lights until the fuse assembly is installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Kzrv technician checks the awning light circuit and installs a 2 amp fuse assembly where the trailer was built without one. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Kzrv has a general reimbursement plan on file for owner-paid repairs tied to this missing fuse assembly. Keep receipts and repair paperwork for the service desk or Kzrv customer service so the expense can be reviewed under that plan.
