Summary

THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE TIRE WHEN THE TRAILER AND BOAT ARE IN A LOADED CONDITION.

Consequence

THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET CAN COME IN CONTACT WITH THE TIRE CAUSING THE TIRE TO "CHUNK" RUBBER OUT OF THE CENTER OF THE TIRE. THIS COULD CAUSE A TIRE FAILURE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE FENDER MOUNTING BRACKET TO ALLOW THE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE TIRE WHEN THE TRAILER AND BOAT ARE IN THE LOADED CONDITION.
