What NHTSA recorded

Certain boat trailers equipped with a retractable tongue were manufactured incorrectly. The steel frame insert may not have been inserted into the brake actuator housing at the correct distance before the parts were welded together.

Possible consequence

If the retractable tongue was not manufactured correctly, the bottom of the top insert could crack in the area of the gap. If the insert cracks with the trailer in service, the tongue could buckle contacting the road surface, which could result in a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and repair the trailers as necessary. The recall began on june 22, 2006. Owners may call 615-494-2084 for more information.
