2001 EZ Loader Custom Frames Blazer & 2001 EZ Loader Custom Frames Sprint + 2 more recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain boat trailers equipped with a mono-leaf based suspension system, the mounting hardware could loosen allowing the spring to flex at the apex of its radius, and at a point where there is a mounting index hole.
💥 The risk
This flexing could lead to premature failure of the spring allowing the trailer to sag on one or both sides, causing tires to rub against the fender and mis-align the wheels.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the mono-leaf spring based suspension system with a multi-leaf spring based suspension system. Owner notification began october 15, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ez loader at 1-509-489-0181.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
