What's wrong?
On the 2025 Kzrv Sportsmen 303QBSE, the driver's side door slide-out actuator is the mechanism that moves that slide-out room in and out when the trailer is set up. It is supposed to stay mounted with enough tire clearance while the suspension and tires move during towing. That clearance matters because the tire expands and shifts under load.
On affected trailers, a model-year frame change lengthened this floor plan and left the actuator too close to the rear tire on the off-door side. As the trailer is towed, the actuator can contact the tire. Repeated contact can damage the tread, and damaged tread can lead to tire failure.
An owner can notice tread damage on the rear tire on the off-door side of the trailer. That visible tread damage is the warning sign before the tire fails.
Who's affected?
The recreational vehicle/trailer equipment and suspension component share the same Lippert tandem equalizer kit.

A matching 2025 Kzrv Sportsmen does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
An actuator that touches the rear tire can damage the tread, lead to tire failure, and increase crash risk. Inspect the rear tire on the side opposite the entry door, and call the dealer for current instructions if your VIN is included. Repair will be free at any franchised Kzrv dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Kzrv Sportsmen is included in this recall.
- Watch for the Kzrv recall letter mailed November 7, 2024, or ask Kzrv customer service for repair-opening status.
- Contact a franchised Kzrv dealer before bringing the trailer in, and ask when the free taller equalizer suspension component repair that moves the slide-out actuator away from the tires is available.
- Reference recall number 24V828 and Kzrv recall KZ-2024-001 when you call.
- Avoid using the trailer until the dealer confirms the actuator has clearance from the tire or the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
Kzrv has not opened the final dealer repair yet. Once it is available, a Kzrv technician will install taller equalizer suspension components so the slide out actuator has proper clearance from the tire. The final dealer repair will be free under the recall, with parts and labor covered. If you've already paid for this repair before the recall notice, Kzrv's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Keep your repair paperwork and contact Kzrv customer service to ask how to submit the claim.
