Skeeter recall: Service brakes, hydraulic
What is wrong
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA (Yamaha) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Skeeter ZXR, FXR, WR, ZX, WX, SX, and Solera Series boat trailers. The slide pins in the brake caliper assemblies may have been improperly torqued or assembled with the incorrect locking agent, allowing the brake calipers to dislodge.
What could happen
A dislodged brake caliper can cause a loss of trailer braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Skeeter will notify owners, and dealers will tighten or, as necessary replace, the slide pins, free of charge. The recall began January 6, 2021. Owners may contact Skeeter customer service at 1-903-984-0541 or at www.skeeterboats.com.
