REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
If you believe that your boat trailer has a defect which could cause a crash or could
cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying the trailer manufacturer.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds
that a safety defect exists in a group of trailers, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems
between you, your dealer or the boat manufacturer.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-
4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to https://nhtsa.safercar.gov; or write to
Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. You
can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from https://
