Mastercraft Boat Company – 14 INCH WHEELS

ON CERTAIN TANDEM-AXLE BOAT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH 14 INCH WHEELS, FAILURE OF THE WHEEL TO SEAT PROPERLY AND SECURELY ON THE WHEEL HUB CAN OCCUR. THIS CAN CAUSE THE LUG NUTS TO BECOME LOOSE EVEN AFTER BEING TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.

Report Received Date 09/07/2006
NHTSA ID 06V335000
Consequence Summary LOOSENING OF THE LUG NUTS COULD RESULT IN THE EVENTUAL LOSS OF ONE OR MORE OF THE NUTS AND/OR WOBBLING OF THE WHEEL WHILE IN MOTION WHICH WOULD PROGRESSIVELY WORSEN AND COULD LEAD TO SHEARING OF THE LUG BOLTS AND/OR LOSS OF THE LUG NUTS, EITHER OF WHICH WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF THE WHEEL. IF THIS OCCURRED DURING TRANSIT, LOSS OF A WHEEL COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TOW VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN HAULING A BOAT ON THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Corrective Action DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE WHEEL IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 24, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MASTERCRAFT AT 1-423-884-2221
