What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN BOAT TRAILERS, A BEARING OF INCORRECT SIZE WAS INSTALLED IN THE WHEEL AXLE ASSEMBLIES.

The risk

THE TIRE, WHEEL AND BRAKE DRUM ASSEMBLY COULD SEPARATE FROM THE TRAILER WHILE UNDERWAY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE CORRECT BEARING. IF FAILURE HAS OCCURRED, THE ENTIRE HUB, SPINDLE OR AXLE MAY BE REPLACED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 5, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT EZ LOADERS AT 800-398-5623.

Notes

CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236; (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.

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.
