Range is the span of the federal record for this line, not a production span. Every record we hold for this line falls inside the range shown.
03 What Connect owners reported
A sweep of NHTSA’s complete complaint file found no owner complaint naming the KZ RV Connect for model years 2014 to 2023. Treat that as no report found, not as a clean record.

05 The Connect in this site’s records
Spec pages: 10 floorplans on the KZ RV Connect line page, for model year 2027. None of those years falls inside the federal record above, which runs 2014 to 2023.
None of the 10 Connect floorplans here has separate records for two model years, so this site measures no change between years for this line.
What was queried: NHTSA’s model list for recalls carried no model under this line’s name for the makes we queried, so no recall lookup was made under it. The complete recall file added 15 of the 15 campaigns above, and every complaint count comes from the complete complaint file.
Counts of NHTSA records matched on NHTSA’s own model field; a complaint is one owner’s unverified report, and an empty year is an empty record, not a clean one (how this record is built). Check a trailer by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you buy.
