What's wrong?
The axle assembly on 2010 Ez Loader Stcb, Ezb, Ezr, Ezscb, and Ezwb single axle boat trailers supports the trailer weight and keeps each wheel aligned. At the end of the axle, the spindle is the machined shaft that the wheel hub rides on. It lets the tire and wheel turn while staying attached to the trailer.
On affected trailers, the spindle can separate from the axle. When that joint lets go, the hub no longer has a secure shaft to ride on, so the tire and wheel can come off the trailer while it is being towed. The filing does not identify a driver repair or adjustment that prevents the separation before the recall work.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the trailer starts to pull strangely, vibrate, or lose a wheel while underway, stop only when it is safe and keep clear of traffic.
