What happened

McClain Trailers is recalling certain 2011-2012 model year AT and ATT boat trailers equipped with Carlisle Tire and Wheel brand aluminum wheels. The wheels were manufactured with improper machine dimensions for the center cap and steel lug inserts, which prevented the wheels from being tightened to the proper torque during installation. If the wheels are not properly tightened, they could loosen and separate from the trailer, potentially causing a vehicle crash and creating a hazard for other road users.

McClain will notify owners of the recall, which began on August 24, 2012. Owners should contact McClain Trailers at 1-713-675-2761. Carlisle Tire and Wheel dealers will repair or replace the affected wheels at no charge.
