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.

TRAILER HITCHES

Apr 27, 2007
3,600 units potentially affected
The defect: CERTAIN BOAT TRAILERS UTILIZE A "SWING-TONGUE" ASSEMBLY, IN WHICH THE TONGUE OF THE TRAILER SWINGS ON A PIVOT TO ALLOW THE TRAILER TO BE STORED IN A SMALLER AREA. A FLAT WASHER WAS OMITTIED OR THE FLAT WASHER CAN FAIL, CAUSING THE PIVOT BOLT ASSEMBLY TO FALL THROUGH THE SWING TONGUE ASSEMBLY.
The risk: IF THE PIVOT BOLT ASSEMBLY FAILS, THE TONGUE IS LIKELY TO SWING OPEN AND COLLAPSE. IF THIS OCCURS WHILE THE TRAILER IS UNDERWAY, THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
The remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A HARDWARE KIT AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. AT THE CUSTOMER'S OPTION, A DEALER CAN PERFORM THE INSTALLATION FOR THEM. THE REPAIR INVOLVES REPLACING THE FRONT HINGE PIN WITH A REPLACEMENT HINGE PIN HARDWARE KIT FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 15, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT EZ LOADER AT 800-553-7855.
