Malibu Boats is recalling 2021-2026 Triple Axle Boat Trailers because a brake line may fracture, causing a loss of brake function and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

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 (brake line fracture) that results in a loss of brake function, which the source text explicitly states increases the risk of a crash. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (implied by crash risk), warranting a Severe rating.
