What was wrong

Defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: BOAT TRAILERS. THE SPINDLE IS WELDED TO THE BRAKE FLANGE, WHICH IS WELDED TO THE AXLE ASSEMBLY. IF THE WELD IS NOT DEEP ENOUGH, THE WELD COULD FAIL.

Risk

THIS COULD RESULT IN THE TIRE COLLAPSING OR COMING LOOSE FROM THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Manufacturer remedy

DEALERS WILL RE-WELD THE TRAILERS OR, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE AXLES IF RE-WELDING IS NOT FEASIBLE.
