Tracker Marine L.p.: Trailer Hitches
Tracker Marine L.p. reported this defect to federal regulators on Oct 21, 1994 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 68. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
THESE TRAILERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A "SWING-AWAY" TONGUE THAT FOLDS INTO A 90 DEGREE ANGLE WHEN IN STORAGE. THE HOLES USED FOR THE FASTENERS ARE LARGER THAN NEEDED, CAUSING A LOADED TRAILER TO WEAVE UNSAFELY.
The risk
THE TRAILER SWAYING CAN CAUSE AN OPERATOR TO LOSE CONTROL RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
The remedy
THE PIVOT BOLT AND HITCH PIN FASTENER HOLES WILL BE ENLARGED TO ACCOMODATE A STEEL BUSHING, WELDED IN PLACE.

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 94V205000.
