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.

WHEELS

Sep 7, 2006
174 units potentially affected
The defect: ON CERTAIN TANDEM-AXLE BOAT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH 14 INCH WHEELS, FAILURE OF THE WHEEL TO SEAT PROPERLY AND SECURELY ON THE WHEEL HUB CAN OCCUR. THIS CAN CAUSE THE LUG NUTS TO BECOME LOOSE EVEN AFTER BEING TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
The risk: LOOSENING OF THE LUG NUTS COULD RESULT IN THE EVENTUAL LOSS OF ONE OR MORE OF THE NUTS AND/OR WOBBLING OF THE WHEEL WHILE IN MOTION WHICH WOULD PROGRESSIVELY WORSEN AND COULD LEAD TO SHEARING OF THE LUG BOLTS AND/OR LOSS OF THE LUG NUTS, EITHER OF WHICH WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF THE WHEEL. IF THIS OCCURRED DURING TRANSIT, LOSS OF A WHEEL COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TOW VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN HAULING A BOAT ON THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE WHEEL IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 24, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MASTERCRAFT AT 1-423-884-2221

Filed Aug 24, 2009

BOUGHT NEW 2007 MASTERCRAFT BOAT W/TRAILER. HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING SYSTEM ON BOAT TRAILER. BRAKES ARE SURGE TYPE DISC BRAKES. BRAKES LOCK UP AND DRAG. WITH LESS THAN 2,000 MILES ON THE TRAILER THE OUTER BRAKE PADS ARE GONE. EITHER THE "KODIAK" BRAKE CALIPERS ARE FAULTY, OR THE ACTUATOR COULD BE AT FAULT. MASTERCRAFT COULD SEEM TO CARE LESS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A BLOG SITE THAT HAS NUMEROUS MENTIONS OF BRAKE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH MASTERCRAFT/KODIAK BRAKES. THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE SAVED THE USED BRAKE PADS. *TR
