The defect
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA (Yamaha) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Skeeter ZXR, FXR, WR, ZX, WX, SX, and Solera Series boat trailers.

A dislodged brake caliper can cause a loss of trailer braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Skeeter will notify owners, and dealers will tighten or, as necessary replace, the slide pins, free of charge. The recall began January 6, 2021. Owners may contact Skeeter customer service at 1-903-984-0541 or at www.skeeterboats.com.

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 20V778000.
