Summary
Tracker marine is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 trailstar nitro and tahoe boat trailers, manufactured from September 28, 2011, through may 13, 2012. Variance of a bracket welded in the brake actuator shell prevents the full range of motion of the master cylinder shaft rod. This can cause the brakes to overheat at the wheels. Excessive heat may lead to brake failure and/or possible wheel bearing failure.
Consequence
If either occurs there is an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy
Tracker marine will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake actuators, free of charge. The recall began on August 16, 2012. Owners may contact tracker marine at 1-417-873-4588.
Notes
Tracker marine’s campaign number is TS-0027. 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 Trailstar 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 Trailstar dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
