- The defect
- McClain Trailers Inc. (McClain Trailers) is recalling certain 2024 10K, 12K, 15K, and 18K boat trailers. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the trailer brake actuator is incorrect, which can allow it to become overloaded.
- What it can cause
- An overloaded trailer brake actuator can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- McClain Trailers will mail corrected labels to owners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 23, 2024. Owners may contact McClain Trailers customer service at 1-713-675-2761.
- 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 140 vehicles this is a small campaign: 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
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 McClain Trailers, Inc. with NHTSA on June 6, 2024 as campaign 24V409000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
