McClain Trailers, Inc. is recalling approximately 140 boat trailers from the 2024 model year, specifically the 10K, 12K, 15K, and 18K models. These trailers have an incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the trailer brake actuator label, which may lead users to unknowingly exceed the safe weight capacity of the braking system. To fix this issue, McClain Trailers will mail corrected labels to all affected owners free of charge.
An incorrectly labeled brake actuator can lead to the trailer being overloaded, which puts excessive strain on the braking system. This can reduce braking performance or cause the actuator to fail, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
