Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Tracker Marine is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Trailstar Nitro and Tahoe boat trailers manufactured between September 28, 2011, and May 13, 2012. These trailers have a defect in the brake actuator where a bracket is welded in a way that prevents the master cylinder shaft rod from moving through its full range of motion. This defect can cause the brakes to overheat at the wheels, potentially leading to brake failure and wheel bearing failure, which increases the risk of a crash.
Tracker Marine will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake actuators free of charge. The recall began on August 16, 2012. Owners of affected trailers should contact Tracker Marine at 1-417-873-4588.

TRACKER MARINE IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012-2013 TRAILSTAR NITRO AND TAHOE BOAT TRAILERS, MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 28, 2011, THROUGH MAY 13, 2012. VARIANCE OF A BRACKET WELDED IN THE BRAKE ACTUATOR SHELL PREVENTS THE FULL RANGE OF MOTION OF THE MASTER CYLINDER SHAFT ROD. THIS CAN CAUSE THE BRAKES TO OVERHEAT AT THE WHEELS. EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE AND/OR POSSIBLE WHEEL BEARING FAILURE.
