Recall campaignsA 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.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY

May 13, 2003
5,565 units potentially affected
The defect: ON CERTAIN BOAT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH A MONO-LEAF BASED SUSPENSION SYSTEM, THE MOUNTING HARDWARE COULD LOOSEN ALLOWING THE SPRING TO FLEX AT THE APEX OF ITS RADIUS, AND AT A POINT WHERE THERE IS A MOUNTING INDEX HOLE.
The risk: THIS FLEXING COULD LEAD TO PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE SPRING ALLOWING THE TRAILER TO SAG ON ONE OR BOTH SIDES, CAUSING TIRES TO RUB AGAINST THE FENDER AND MIS-ALIGN THE WHEELS.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE MONO-LEAF SPRING BASED SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH A MULTI-LEAF SPRING BASED SUSPENSION SYSTEM. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN OCTOBER 15, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT EZ LOADER AT 1-509-489-0181.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A 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.
Safety investigation
NHTSA 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.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
