What's wrong

White River Marine Group LLC (WRMG) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Tracker Marine Trailstar TRL and Topper boat trailers. The winch strap may fray after contacting the crossbar and break, allowing the boat to detach from the trailer.

The risk

A detached boat can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

The fix

Dealers will install a roller kit to reroute the winch strap, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 16, 2025. Owners may contact WRMG's customer service at 1-417-873-5900. WRMG's number for this recall is TS-0042.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1- 888-275-9171) or go to www.safercar.gov.
