WHEELS:HUB
- The defect
- Tracker Marine, LLC (Tracker) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Trailstar and Ranger Trail boat trailers. Please refer to the attached document for the full list of affected model numbers. The axle hubs were not tightened properly, which can cause the hubs to seize while in motion.
- What it can cause
- Seized trailer hubs can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and tighten the hubs, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed in June, 2022. Owners are advised to drive at reduced speeds and not tow a boat, until the remedy has been performed. Owners may contact Tracker's customer service at 1-417-873-4555. Tracker's number for this recall is TS-0041.
- 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.nhtsa.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 27,078 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Trailstar vehicles have been recalled over the wheels 4 times before this, most recently in September 2018 as 18V585000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 21V857000 (structure).
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 May 17, 2022 as campaign 22V343000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
