What's wrong?
The wheels on the 2010 Loadmaster Boat Trailer are the metal rims that bolt to the axle and hold the tires in place. Each wheel carries trailer weight through the hub, keeps the tire seated, and lets the tire roll straight behind the tow vehicle. On trailers equipped with the 15-inch painted Tredit wheels named in recall 10V604, the rim is the affected part.
The problem is in the welds that join parts of the wheel. Some wheels were built with misaligned welds, which means the welded joint is not positioned as designed. A weld in the wrong position can leave the wheel weaker at that joint and less able to handle normal road load from the trailer and boat.
There is no warning sign before failure. A trailer owner should not expect a light, sound, or handling change to appear first, because the recall filing does not identify an advance symptom.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer or Loadmaster service location, a Loadmaster technician repairs the boat trailer at no charge, focusing on the Tredit Tire painted wheels identified in recall 10V604. The filing does not describe a specific part replacement or inspection step, so the service desk should confirm the exact wheel repair before the trailer is brought in. Loadmaster's filing says the safety recall began on January 3, 2011, and owners can contact Loadmaster at 1-419-732-3434 for repair instructions.

What should I do if my 2010 Loadmaster Boat Trailer is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 10V604. If it is, contact Loadmaster at 1-419-732-3434 and ask how to get the wheel repair completed. Reference recall number 10V604 when you call. The repair is free.
