The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (trailer load capacity) that may cause axle or tire failure and increase the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Tracker Marine L.L.C. is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Mako 18 LTS boat and trailer packages. These packages consist of Mako LTS boats and 2009-2012 EZ Loader-brand AB 18-20 trailers manufactured between January 8, 2009, and June 6, 2011. The recall affects 614 units.
The trailers may not have sufficient load carrying capacity to transport the boats they were intended to carry. This potential overload causes the trailers to fail to comply with federal certification requirements. Trailer overloading may cause axle or tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash.
Tracker Marine will notify owners, and dealers will remedy the trailers free of charge. The corrective action depends on the specific boat and trailer combination and may include replacement of axle assemblies, installation of brakes, and/or replacement of wheels and tires. The safety recall began on October 4, 2012. Owners may contact Tracker Marine at 417-873-4588 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
