| This notice is being posted in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. EZ Loader Custom Boat Trailers, Inc., in conjunction with its supplier, Tie Down Engineering, has decided that there is a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety existing in certain 2006 and 2007 EZ Loader Custom Welded Trailers with the swing-tongue option . This defect has the potential to cause the swing tongue to fail and separate from the trailer while underway, which could result in a crash without prior warning. Therefore, we are asking that the trailer not be operated until the hardware kit is installed. The installation of the hardware kit is a simple procedure, therefore, the owner may install it themselves, or if they prefer, they may take the hardware kit to their selling dealer for installation. EZ Loader will pay reasonable charges to the dealer for the installation of the kit. The repair simply involves replacing the front hinge pin with the replacement hinge pin hardware kit and re-tighten per the simple instructional service bulletin from Tie Down Engineering, the manufacturer of that swing-tongue assembly. In the event the trailer owner would rather the dealer replace this item for them, EZ Loader will provide for the inspection and repairs at no cost to you. EZ Loader dealers have been advised of this possible problem and the authorization to repair at a predetermined fair market price. Prior to towing the trailer to the dealer, please inspect the existing swing tongue hinge bolt to determine that the washer that is installed between the surface of the tongue and the bolt head on the top of the tongue is installed and undamaged. If the washer is cracked or missing, do not tow the trailer until the new hardware is installed. If the trailer owner has any problems getting this replaced or have other questions they may contact EZ Loader by phone at 800 553-7855 x239. Larry Barker in our Warranty Department will assist you in determining the most convenient manner for you to have your trailer repaired. If you believe that EZ Loader has not provided a remedy for this defect in a reasonable amount of time and without charge to you, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590; or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. |
