What's wrong?
The wheel fasteners on the 2009 Yakima Rack And Roll trailer are the hardware that holds each wheel to the trailer hub. The recall covers Rack And Roll equipment trailers, part numbers 8008106 and 8008107, in the 66 inch, 250 lb and 78 inch, 300 lb versions. Those lugs, nuts, bolts, or studs are supposed to keep the wheel clamped in place while the trailer carries load and road vibration.
Yakima's filing says the trailer's wheel or wheels can separate from the trailer while driving. The filing does not give a detailed root cause, so the practical issue is the fastening point between the wheel and hub. If that connection lets go, the wheel is no longer secured to the trailer.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not assume noise, vibration, or a visible lean will appear before the wheel separates.

What's the safety risk?
A wheel that separates from the trailer makes the trailer unstable and increases crash risk. Keep towing only long enough to reach a safe place, then contact Yakima for recall instructions before the next trip. Repair will be free at any franchised Yakima dealer once available.
