What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

McClain Trailers Inc. (McClain Trailers) is recalling certain 2024 10K, 12K, 15K, and 18K boat trailers. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the trailer brake actuator is incorrect, which can allow it to become overloaded.

The risk

An overloaded trailer brake actuator can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

McClain Trailers will mail corrected labels to owners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 23, 2024. Owners may contact McClain Trailers customer service at 1-713-675-2761.

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.nhtsa.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.
