    NHTSA 99V293000 Reported 2,433 vehicles potentially affected STRATOS BOATS

    Vehicle description: boat trailers equipped with aluminum wheels. These wheels have a chamfered central hole where the axle spindle passes through. On some, the chamfer is too shallow causing the wheel bearing dust cap to protrude behind the wheel. When this cap is protruding, wheel lug bolt torque will not remain tightened.

    Remedy: Stratos has gone out of business. The correction was to replace these wheels.

Checking a specific 2000 Stratos Boat Trailer

How do I know if my 2000 Stratos Boat Trailer has an open recall?

Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 1 campaign currently lists the 2000 Stratos Boat Trailer; your car may already have been repaired under it.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Stratos dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 99V293000).

What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?

A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
