Subject: Sea-Doo Move I Extended 1500 Trailer Spindle Weld Failure – Possible Wheel
Loss
Dear Sea-Doo owner,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. BRP has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on some 2021 Sea-Doo MOVE trailers.
Our records show that you own a potentially affected trailer.
What is the potential problem?
On a limited number of units manufactured by Karavan Trailers, the wheel spindles were improperly welded to the axle. Three axle batches (256, 258 and 260) were identified at risk for inadequate welding. In some situations, this could result in the spindle’s weld breaking, sliding out of the flange, and the wheel separating from the axle and vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to others on the road.
Which models are involved?
A limited quantity of serial numbers of model year 2021 Sea-Doo MOVE trailers.
What will BRP do?
BRP will repair your trailer free of charge. The corrective action involves owners to inspect the axle batch number. If it is part of the three affected batches, the axle will be replaced and transportation of the trailer to your dealership will be paid by BRP. This service should take about one hour.
If it is not part of the affected batch, no further action will be required.
What should you do?
Do not use your trailer UNTIL the inspection or repair has been done.
Inspection:
Identify the batch number on your axle. If the batch number is NOT 256 or 258 or 260.
No further action is required and you can continue to use your trailer.
