2025 Brinkley RV Model Z: Equipment recall

NHTSA campaign 24V717000 · 40 units potentially affected · filed Sep 26, 2024

What's wrong

Brinkley RV (Brinkley) is recalling certain 2025 Model Z travel trailers. The installed safety chains are underrated for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).

Why it matters

Underrated chains can break, allowing the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the safety chains, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 8, 2024. Owners may contact Brinkley customer service at 1-574-501-4280. Brinkley's number for this recall is REC-2403.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
