The short answer
NHTSA received MCCLAIN TRAILERS, INC.’s report on Aug 23, 2012. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 22, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the wheels are not tightened to the proper torque, the wheels could loosen, leading to wheel separation, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. A detached wheel also becomes a road hazard.
McClain Trailers (McClain) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 AT and ATT boat trailers equipped with Carlisle Tire and Wheel brand aluminum wheels installed as original equipment.
These wheels were manufactured with machine dimensions for the application of a center cap and the application of steel lug inserts that were not controlled to the required specifications.
As a result, the wheel may not be tightened to the proper torque during the mounting process.
