Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Complaint totals count a report once for each model year it names; recall totals count a campaign once per model.

Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not to every vehicle of a model year. Check your VIN with NHTSA or your manufacturer's dealer to confirm whether a recall affects your vehicle.
Check a VIN on NHTSA.govEQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:WINCHWhite River Marine Group LLC (WRMG) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Tracker Marine Trailstar TRL and Topper boat trailers. The winch strap may fray after contacting the crossbar and break, allowing the boat to detach from the trailer.
WHEELS:HUBTracker Marine, LLC (Tracker) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Trailstar and Ranger Trail boat trailers. Please refer to the attached document for the full list of affected model numbers. The axle hubs were not tightened properly, which can cause the hubs to seize while in motion.
STEERING; STEERING:LINKAGES:KNUCKLE:SPINDLE:ARMTrailstar International Inc. (Trailstar) is recalling certain 2017-2019 International Dump trailers equipped with Ingersoll Smart-Steer self steer axles.

STRUCTURE:BODYTracker Marine, LLC (Tracker) is recalling certain Ranger Trail and Trailstar NZ18, NZ19, NZ20, NZ21, ZV20, and ZV21 trailers. The 18 inch tires may rub against the fiberglass fenders causing premature wear.
WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDSTrailstar International Inc. (Trailstar) is recalling certain 2019 Dump trailers. The locking device on the wheel end nut may be improperly installed, which can cause the wheel to separate from the axle.

The affected trailers were built with wheels that have load range "C" tires installed, instead of load range "D" tires as specified. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less."

EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE AND/OR POSSIBLE WHEEL BEARING FAILURE.
