The manufacturer did not publish a build-date range for this recall, so the model and year list below is the only way to tell whether your vehicle is covered.
- 2011 Boatwheels PB20-SL3500
- 2011 Boatwheels PB20-TM6000
- 2011 Boatwheels PB25-TM1040
What the defect is
Alumina, Inc., dba Boatwheels, is recalling one model year 2011 PB25-TM1040, one 2011 PB20-TM6000, and one 2011 PB20-SL3500 trailer equipped with certain 908 Yuma, 910 Intruder, and 921 Intrepid series Black Rock toy hauler trailer wheels. Due to a manufacturing defect, the wheels may not be tightened to the proper torque requirements.
What could happen
This condition could allow the wheels to loosen, leading to wheel separation, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
What gets fixed
Alumina will notify owners and direct them to contact the supplier, Carlisle. The affected wheels will be replaced at the owners nearest service center, free of charge. The recall will begin in November 2012.
Timeline

No owner-notification date has been published yet. Manufacturers normally write to registered owners within 60 days of reporting a recall.
Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 31 October 2012.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Additional notes

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
