2012–2013 Trailstar Tahoe 195 & 2012–2013 Trailstar Tahoe 215 + 10 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
💥 The risk
If either occurs there is an increased risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
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.
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.)
