Yakima Rack & Roll Trailer: Wheels
Affects Yakima Rack & Roll Trailer · 2009–2010 — about 60 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain trailers, the wheels are currently held in place without a safety pin/trapped nut of any type beyond the use of a lock washer. This could allow the wheel(s) to become loose and separate from the trailer while in use, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: The manufacturer will be supplying the dealers/owners with a bolt kit that will include a new axle bolt, castle nut, cotter pin, and clear instructions for replacing their current axle bolts.
