What's wrong?
The water heater and fireplace circuits in the 2022 Kzrv Stratus and Sporttrek use wiring and circuit breakers to control electrical load. The breaker is the resettable safety switch in the panel. It is supposed to match the wire size, so the breaker opens the circuit before the wire carries more current than it is designed to handle.
On affected trailers, those circuits were built with 14/2 wire but protected by a 20 amp circuit breaker instead of the 15 amp breaker specified for that wire. That mismatch means the breaker allows more current than the wire is intended to carry. The issue traces to a production error, not to owner use or a maintenance step.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect a light, sound, smell, or appliance behavior to identify the problem before the circuit is overloaded.
Who's affected?
Covers both Stratus and Sporttrek trailers from the 2022 model year, both tied to the same circuit breaker wiring issue.

A matching 2022 Kzrv Stratus or Sporttrek does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect amperage circuit breaker can leave the electrical circuit without enough protection, which increases fire risk. There is no warning sign before the breaker fails to protect the circuit, so schedule the repair soon if your VIN is included. Repair is free at any franchised Kzrv dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Kzrv Stratus or Sporttrek trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Kzrv dealer to schedule the free circuit-breaker replacement that corrects the water heater and fireplace circuit protection.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, or reference recall number 21V814 when you call.
- Follow any use guidance from Kzrv or the dealer until the circuit-breaker repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Kzrv technician replaces the circuit breaker for the water heater and fireplace circuits. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. The issue is that those circuits were connected to a 20 amp circuit breaker instead of a 15 amp circuit breaker, so the dealer installs the correct breaker. Kzrv used its general reimbursement plan for this recall, so documented out-of-pocket repairs tied to this circuit breaker issue are handled through that plan. Bring repair paperwork to the service desk and ask how to submit it.
