Defect. ON CERTAIN BOAT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH A MONO-LEAF BASED SUSPENSION SYSTEM, THE MOUNTING HARDWARE COULD LOOSEN ALLOWING THE SPRING TO FLEX AT THE APEX OF ITS RADIUS, AND AT A POINT WHERE THERE IS A MOUNTING INDEX HOLE.

Risk. THIS FLEXING COULD LEAD TO PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE SPRING ALLOWING THE TRAILER TO SAG ON ONE OR BOTH SIDES, CAUSING TIRES TO RUB AGAINST THE FENDER AND MIS-ALIGN THE WHEELS.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE MONO-LEAF SPRING BASED SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH A MULTI-LEAF SPRING BASED SUSPENSION SYSTEM. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN OCTOBER 15, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT EZ LOADER AT 1-509-489-0181.

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.
