NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 12V396000.
Defect description
B & M Manufacturing Company (B & M) is recalling certain model year 2012 boat trailers equipped with Carlisle Transport Products brand wheels installed as original equipment. These wheels were manufactured with machine dimensions for the application of a center cap and the application of steel lug inserts that were not controlled to the required specifications. As a result, the wheel may not be tightened to the proper torque during the mounting process.
Safety consequence
If the wheels are not tightened to the proper torque, the wheels could loosen, leading to wheel separation, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. A detached wheel also becomes a road hazard.
Manufacturer remedy
B & M will notify owners, and dealers will repair or replace affected wheels free of charge. The recall began on September 19, 2012. Owners may contact B & M Manufacturing Company at 1-573-346-7246.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
