2005–2006 EZ Loader Trailer recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain boat trailers, a bearing of incorrect size was installed in the wheel axle assemblies.
💥 The risk
The tire, wheel and brake drum assembly could separate from the Trailer while underway, which could result in a crash without prior warning.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the correct bearing. If failure has occurred, the entire hub, spindle or axle may be replaced. The recall began on october 5, 2005. Owners may contact ez loaders at 800-398-5623.
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.)
