- The defect
- White River Marine Group LLC (WRMG) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Tracker Marine Trailstar TRL and Topper boat trailers. The winch strap may fray after contacting the crossbar and break, allowing the boat to detach from the trailer.
- What it can cause
- A detached boat can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a roller kit to reroute the winch strap, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 16, 2025. Owners may contact WRMG's customer service at 1-417-873-5900. WRMG's number for this recall is TS-0042.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1- 888-275-9171) 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 2,164 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Trailstar vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 7 times before this, most recently in June 2012 as 12V290000. 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 WHITE RIVER MARINE GROUP LLC with NHTSA on April 8, 2025 as campaign 25V219000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
