Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA is recalling approximately 922 Skeeter FXR boat trailers from the 2024 and 2025 model years. The boarding ladders on these trailers, used to access the front of the boat, were manufactured with incomplete welds that can cause the ladder to fail or break apart. Authorized dealers will replace the affected boarding ladders free of charge to resolve the safety issue.
The ladder may unexpectedly fail while someone is climbing it, leading to a fall and potential injury. Additionally, if the welds fail while the trailer is being towed, components of the ladder could fall onto the road, creating a hazard for other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free replacement of the trailer boarding ladder by an authorized dealer.
Recall involves the boarding ladder used to gain access to the bow of the boat; Yamaha recall number 2025-001.
