Magic Tilt Watercraft Trailers Recalled Due to Winch Weld Failure

Magic Tilt is recalling 2025-2026 aluminum watercraft trailers because the winch weld may fail, causing the winch to detach and potentially injure nearby people.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a structural vehicle defect (winch separation) that creates a risk of injury. While no specific injuries are reported in the text, the potential for physical harm from a detached heavy component warrants a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Magic Tilt Trailers, Inc. is recalling certain 2025-2026 model year aluminum personal watercraft boat trailers. The defect involves the weld connecting the winch to the base plate, which may fail during use.

If the weld fails, the winch can separate from its mount. A detached winch poses a risk of injury to individuals standing near the trailer.

Dealers will replace the defective winch posts free of charge. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed on October 9, 2026. Owners may contact Magic Tilt customer service at 1-727-535-5561 for more information.
