TRACKER MARINE CORP. recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Nov 1, 1995, covering about 438 vehicles.
The problem
The slide axle assemblies are secured to the trailer frame with u-bolts, nuts, and lock washers. These bolts were not tightened properly which can cause the slide axle assemblies to move laterally allowing the trailer to not follow the tow vehicle correctly.
The risk
The trailer may swing back and forth increasing the risk of a vehicle collision.
The fix
Dealers will tighten the bolts to the proper torque value.
