Trailstar Tahoe boat trailers recalled

The trailers were built with incorrect wheels

By James Limbach of ConsumerAffairs

Tracker Marine is recalling 346 model year 2016 Trailstar Tahoe boat trailers, models 400, 450, 500 and 550, manufactured March 23, 2015, to June 24, 2015.

The affected trailers were built with wheels that have load range "C" tires installed, instead of load range "D" tires as specified. If the trailer exceeds the load rating on the tire, the tire may suddenly fail, increasing the risk of a crash.

Tracker will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wheels that have load range "C" tires for wheels with the correct load range "D" tires, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in August 2015.

Owners may contact Tracker customer service at 1-417-873-4555. Tracker's number for this recall is TS-0031.
