Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

SUSPENSION

Oct 7, 2014
1,357 units potentially affected
The defect: EZ Loader Adjustable Boat Trailers, Inc. (EZ Loader) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Adjustable Steel and Aluminum trailers manufactured May 27, 2014, to September 11, 2014. In the affected trailers, the inner metal bar that acts as the suspension spring may break.
The risk: If the suspension fails, the trailer may be more difficult to control. Additionally, failure of the suspension may result in wheel separation. Either condition could increase the risk of a crash.
