Plain-English summary

Lippert Components, Inc., doing business as Extreme Trailers, is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 boat trailers equipped with Carlisle Transport Products brand wheels installed as original equipment. The company also sold approximately 118 wheel and tire assemblies for aftermarket use on various recreational vehicles. The affected models include the 28 Fusion, 29 Deck, 00 Donzi 26 ZX, 25 Rage, 250 Grand Majestic, 27 Lightning, 28 Heat, 33 Daytona, Wake VTX, DCB F-26, 28SS, Bennington 250 Grand Maj, Wake VLX, Wake 247 LSV, 2011 Nautique 200, Premier 260 Grand Isle, and Wake 23 LSV.

The wheels were manufactured with machine dimensions for the application of a center cap and steel lug inserts that were not controlled to the required specifications. As a result, the wheels may not be tightened to the proper torque during the mounting process. If the wheels are not tightened to the proper torque, they could loosen, leading to wheel separation, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. A detached wheel also becomes a road hazard.

Lippert will notify owners, and Carlisle Transport Products dealers will repair or replace the affected wheels free of charge. The recall began during December 2012. Owners may contact Lippert Components at 1-574-312-6113. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
