I am writing to point out defects and safety concerns for a "Sea Doo Move II" trailer that I own. It is sold and marketed by BPR (Bombardier Recreational Products Inc) nationally through authorized Sea Doo dealerships and manufactured in partnership with Karavan, LLC. This trailer is advertised as a Sea Doo product and all literature for it is published under the Sea Doo brand. The trailer is made almost entirely of aluminum, the exception being Its listed carrying capacity is 2500 pounds and it is used to haul my 2 personal watercraft (PWC), a 2021 Sea Doo RXP-X and a 2023 Sea Doo RXP-X (each weighs 780 lbs). The Move II trailer is specifically designed for these PWC. During my end of season trailer inspection, I observed stress fissures and cracks to almost all the welds in addition to significant cracks to the frame, some independent of weld seams.

What owners reported
Newest filingsThe contact owns a 2021 Karavan Trailer. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the trailer gates inadvertently opened without warning. The contact pulled over and latch the gates however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was informed of failure and informed the contact that they were unable to assist. The failure mileage was unknown.
I noticed the trailer swaying really bad going down the highway around 55 -65 mph so after I get it home I over looked the trailer to see if I could see anything that would be causing it . Every nut and bolt from the axles to the body of the trailer are very loose some I can spend with my hand .

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.
