What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Mastercraft Boat Company Inc (Mastercraft) is recalling certain model year 2015 boat trailers manufactured April 1, 2014, to March 11, 2015. The trailer tongue bolt may fail allowing the trailer swing tongue to disengage from the tow ball of the vehicle.

The risk

If the trailer tongue disconnects from the tow vehicle, there is an increased risk of a crash.

The remedy

Mastercraft will notify owners, and dealers will replace the swing tongue bolt and hardware, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 11, 2015. Owners may contact Mastercraft customer service at 1-423-884-2221. Mastercraft's numbers for this recall are RC-01 and RC-02.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to 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.
