Trailstar Z9, Z8: Brakes
Affects Trailstar Z9, Z8 · 2011–2012 — about 6 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain boat trailers, the brake caliper slider pins may not have received adequate tightening torque during the assembly process. This could allow the brake calipers to become loose, damaging various brake components. Ultimately, this could result in a loss of brake function which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Tracker Marine dealers will apply a thread locking compound to the slider pins, and re-install them to the correct torque specification.
