What is wrong
THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE TIRE WHEN THE TRAILER AND BOAT ARE IN A LOADED CONDITION.
What can happen
THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET CAN COME IN CONTACT WITH THE TIRE CAUSING THE TIRE TO "CHUNK" RUBBER OUT OF THE CENTER OF THE TIRE. THIS COULD CAUSE A TIRE FAILURE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET TO ALLOW THE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE TIRE WHEN THE TRAILER AND BOAT ARE IN THE LOADED CONDITION.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
