What is 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.
What can happen
IF EITHER OCCURS THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

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.
