THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE TIRE WHEN THE TRAILER AND BOAT ARE IN A LOADED CONDITION.
Safety risk
THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET CAN COME IN CONTACT WITH THE TIRE CAUSING THE TIRE TO "CHUNK" RUBBER OUT OF THE CENTER OF THE TIRE. THIS COULD CAUSE A TIRE FAILURE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET TO ALLOW THE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE TIRE WHEN THE TRAILER AND BOAT ARE IN THE LOADED CONDITION.
THE SLIDE AXLE ASSEMBLIES ARE SECURED TO THE TRAILER FRAME WITH U-BOLTS, NUTS, AND LOCK WASHERS. THESE BOLTS WERE NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY WHICH CAN CAUSE THE SLIDE AXLE ASSEMBLIES TO MOVE LATERALLY ALLOWING THE TRAILER TO NOT FOLLOW THE TOW VEHICLE CORRECTLY.
Safety risk
THE TRAILER MAY SWING BACK AND FORTH INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE COLLISION.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL TIGHTEN THE BOLTS TO THE PROPER TORQUE VALUE.
