2015 Mastercraft Boat Trailer recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
Mastercraft Boat Company Inc (Mastercraft) is recalling certain model year 2015 boat trailers manufactured April 1, 2014, to March 11, 2015. The trailer tongue bolt may fail allowing the trailer swing tongue to disengage from the tow ball of the vehicle.
💥 The risk
If the trailer tongue disconnects from the tow vehicle, there is an increased risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Mastercraft will notify owners, and dealers will replace the swing tongue bolt and hardware, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 11, 2015. Owners may contact Mastercraft customer service at 1-423-884-2221. Mastercraft's numbers for this recall are RC-01 and RC-02.
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.)
