NHTSA campaign 00V322000 · Part 573 safety recall report

Mastercraft Boat Company: Wheels › Hubcap/Cover

Mastercraft Boat Company reported this defect to federal regulators on Oct 13, 2000 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 1,200. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: BOAT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH 14" AND 15" UNIQUE PRO WHEEL AND LUG NUTS. DUE TO PAINT ON THE WHEEL HUB, THE LUG NUTS WERE NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY. THE WHEELS COULD LOOSEN DURING TRAVEL RESULTING IN THE WHEEL STUD BREAKING. THE WHEEL COULD THEN SEPARATE FROM THE TRAILER.

The risk

THE WHEEL COULD SEPARATE FROM THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REMOVE ALL PAINT FROM THE WHEEL HUB, RE-INSTALL THE WHEEL, AND RE-TORQUE THE LUG NUTS.

What this page is, and what to do next

A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.

This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 00V322000.
