BOUGHT NEW 2007 MASTERCRAFT BOAT W/TRAILER. HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING SYSTEM ON BOAT TRAILER. BRAKES ARE SURGE TYPE DISC BRAKES. BRAKES LOCK UP AND DRAG. WITH LESS THAN 2,000 MILES ON THE TRAILER THE OUTER BRAKE PADS ARE GONE. EITHER THE "KODIAK" BRAKE CALIPERS ARE FAULTY, OR THE ACTUATOR COULD BE AT FAULT. MASTERCRAFT COULD SEEM TO CARE LESS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A BLOG SITE THAT HAS NUMEROUS MENTIONS OF BRAKE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH MASTERCRAFT/KODIAK BRAKES. THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE SAVED THE USED BRAKE PADS. *TR
ON CERTAIN TANDEM-AXLE BOAT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH 14 INCH WHEELS, FAILURE OF THE WHEEL TO SEAT PROPERLY AND SECURELY ON THE WHEEL HUB CAN OCCUR. THIS CAN CAUSE THE LUG NUTS TO BECOME LOOSE EVEN AFTER BEING TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: LOOSENING OF THE LUG NUTS COULD RESULT IN THE EVENTUAL LOSS OF ONE OR MORE OF THE NUTS AND/OR WOBBLING OF THE WHEEL WHILE IN MOTION WHICH WOULD PROGRESSIVELY WORSEN AND COULD LEAD TO SHEARING OF THE LUG BOLTS AND/OR LOSS OF THE LUG NUTS, EITHER OF WHICH WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF THE WHEEL. IF THIS OCCURRED DURING TRANSIT, LOSS OF A WHEEL COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TOW VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN HAULING A BOAT ON THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE WHEEL IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 24, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MASTERCRAFT AT 1-423-884-2221
