Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

IF THE SPRING BREAKS, IT COULD CAUSE THE AXLE ON THE BOAT TRAILER TO ALSO BREAK, WHICH, IN TURN, MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BOAT OR CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: SOME MONOLEAF SPRINGS INSTALLED ON CERTAIN BOAT TRAILERS, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 8/20/99 AND 10/28/99, WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED.

THESE TRAILERS EXPERIENCE BREAKAGES WHILE IN USE.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
