On certain trailers, the lower part of the steel frame insert on the retractable tongue may not have been inserted into the brake actuator housing the proper distance before the parts were welded together. As a result, the bottom of the top insert could crack in the area of the gap. If the insert cracks while the trailer is secured to a towing vehicle, the weight of the boat can cause the tongue to buckle and contact the road surface, which could cause a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the tongue, and if there is a gap, install a bracket to strengthen the insert.
