MY EZ LOADER ALUMINUM BOAT TRAILER NEARLY HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE MAIN TONGUE BEAM THAT APPEARS TO BE A DIRECT RESULT OF WEAK MATERIALS AND POOR LOCATION OF LARGE DRILLED HOLES FOR LIGHTING. WHILE I MANAGED TO CATCH THE SITUATION BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE, THE CRACKING HAPPENED BEHIND MANUFACTURER INSTALLED LIGHTING MASKING THE INITIAL FAILURE STAGES. MY CONCERN IS THAT OTHERS MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE IN SEEING THE PROBLEM. SAFETY CHAINS WILL NOT HELP WITH THIS TYPE OF FAILURE! PLEASE NOTE: THE TRAILER IS AN EZ-LOADER NOT DOOLITTLE MFG. THE WEBSITE KEEPS REPLACING EZ LOADER WITH DOOLITTLE WHEN I GO TO PREVIEW THE COMPLAINT. *TR

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.
