STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Tracker Marine, LLC (Tracker) is recalling certain Ranger Trail and Trailstar NZ18, NZ19, NZ20, NZ21, ZV20, and ZV21 trailers. The 18 inch tires may rub against the fiberglass fenders causing premature wear.
- What it can cause
- Premature wear may cause a tire blow out, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to drive the trailer until the remedy is complete. Tracker will notify owners, and dealers will raise the fenders by installing shims on all NZ models and replacing the axle on all ZV models, free of charge. Tracker will provide a tow or on-site repair. Owners may contact Tracker customer service at 1-417-873-4555. Tracker's number for this recall is TS-0037.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 184 vehicles this is a small campaign: 63% of the 14,797 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 490. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Trailstar vehicles have been recalled over the structure 3 times before this, most recently in September 2004 as 04V462000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Tracker Marine, LLC with NHTSA on March 24, 2021 as campaign 21V205000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
