- The problem
- Certain boat trailers utilize a "swing-tongue" assembly, in which the tongue of the trailer swings on a pivot to allow the trailer to be stored in a smaller area. A flat washer was omittied or the flat washer can fail, causing the pivot bolt assembly to fall through the swing tongue assembly.
- The risk
- If the pivot bolt assembly fails, the tongue is likely to swing open and collapse. If this occurs while the trailer is underway, this could result in a crash without prior warning.
- The fix
- Owners will be provided with a hardware kit and installation instructions. At the customer's option, a dealer can perform the installation for them. The repair involves replacing the front hinge pin with a replacement hinge pin hardware kit free of charge. The recall began on may 15, 2007. Owners may contact ez loader at 800-553-7855.
