What's wrong?
On the 2008-2010 Load Rite LR-AWV2335 and WV2450W personal watercraft trailers, the rim is the metal wheel section that holds the tire and carries trailer load through the hub. The tire and rim have separate load ratings, and those ratings need to match the trailer's intended load so the wheel assembly can support the watercraft safely.
In NHTSA campaign 10V229, the rim capacity did not match the tire capacity. That leaves the wheel assembly under-rated for the application, even though the tire itself is part of a higher-capacity setup. When the trailer is loaded, the rim is the weak part of the assembly, so the wheel assembly is not sufficient for its intended use.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a shake, noise, or visible rim damage to decide whether the trailer is included.
Who's affected?
Covers the LR-AWV2335 across 2008, 2009, and 2010, plus the WV2450W for 2010, all tied to wheel hardware.
