Defect. THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE TIRE WHEN THE TRAILER AND BOAT ARE IN A LOADED CONDITION.

Risk. THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET CAN COME IN CONTACT WITH THE TIRE CAUSING THE TIRE TO "CHUNK" RUBBER OUT OF THE CENTER OF THE TIRE. THIS COULD CAUSE A TIRE FAILURE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET TO ALLOW THE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE TIRE WHEN THE TRAILER AND BOAT ARE IN THE LOADED CONDITION.

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.
