Summary
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.
Remedy
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.

Customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your EZ Loader been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A EZ Loader dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
