EZ LOADER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 EZ LOADER BOAT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH A CARLISLE HYDRASTAR BRAKE ACTUATOR. ONE OF THE ROTATING COMPONENTS IN THE HYDRAULIC PUMP MISSED A HEAT TREAT OPERATION CAUSING THE ACTUATOR TO WEAR AT A HIGHER THAN NORMAL RATE. AS A RESULT, THE HYDRAULIC PUMP COULD FAIL AND RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY IN THE TRAILER.
EZ LOADER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 EZ LOADER SINGLE AXLE BOAT TRAILERS. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR THE SPINDLE TO SEPARATE FROM THE AXLE CAUSING THE TIRE AND WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE TRAILER WHILE UNDERWAY.
CERTAIN BOAT TRAILERS UTILIZE A "SWING-TONGUE" ASSEMBLY, IN WHICH THE TONGUE OF THE TRAILER SWINGS ON A PIVOT TO ALLOW THE TRAILER TO BE STORED IN A SMALLER AREA. A FLAT WASHER WAS OMITTIED OR THE FLAT WASHER CAN FAIL, CAUSING THE PIVOT BOLT ASSEMBLY TO FALL THROUGH THE SWING TONGUE ASSEMBLY.
ON CERTAIN BOAT TRAILERS, A BEARING OF INCORRECT SIZE WAS INSTALLED IN THE WHEEL AXLE ASSEMBLIES.
ON CERTAIN BOAT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH A MONO-LEAF BASED SUSPENSION SYSTEM, THE MOUNTING HARDWARE COULD LOOSEN ALLOWING THE SPRING TO FLEX AT THE APEX OF ITS RADIUS, AND AT A POINT WHERE THERE IS A MOUNTING INDEX HOLE.
A ONE-PIECE SPRING HANGER/STEP USED FOR HANGING THE SPRINGS CAN FATIGUE AND BREAK. IF THE STEP BREAKS, ONE OR MORE OF THE SPRINGS CAN FALL FROM THE TRAILER WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
