Defect. CERTAIN BOAT TRAILERS UTILIZE A "SWING-TONGUE" ASSEMBLY, IN WHICH THE TONGUE OF THE TRAILER SWINGS ON A PIVOT TO ALLOW THE TRAILER TO BE STORED IN A SMALLER AREA. A FLAT WASHER WAS OMITTIED OR THE FLAT WASHER CAN FAIL, CAUSING THE PIVOT BOLT ASSEMBLY TO FALL THROUGH THE SWING TONGUE ASSEMBLY.

Risk. IF THE PIVOT BOLT ASSEMBLY FAILS, THE TONGUE IS LIKELY TO SWING OPEN AND COLLAPSE. IF THIS OCCURS WHILE THE TRAILER IS UNDERWAY, THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

Remedy. OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A HARDWARE KIT AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. AT THE CUSTOMER'S OPTION, A DEALER CAN PERFORM THE INSTALLATION FOR THEM. THE REPAIR INVOLVES REPLACING THE FRONT HINGE PIN WITH A REPLACEMENT HINGE PIN HARDWARE KIT FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 15, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT EZ LOADER AT 800-553-7855.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
