07V187000 on 04/26/2007

Component:

Trailer hitches

Manufactured:

10/31/2006 - 04/17/2007

Affected:

3,600

Defect:

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.

Consequence:

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.

Correction:

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.
