2016 Shorelander Trailer Recall Fenders

[LoWeLL216]

So I got replacement fenders from Shorelander due to the recall on the brackets.

I got the following (see picture) along with the 4 bolts and lights with the new fenders.

My question is - what do the brackets in the middle of the new fenders connect to?

You will unscrew them from the new fender as they just there for shipping purposes. The bracket replaces the current bracket that’s connecting the existing fender to the trailer.

How did you become aware of this? I have a 2016 trailer but have gotten no recall notice!

From the forum here after both my previous brackets broke off the leaf spring attachment point. I emailed Shorelander and they confirmed the recall and sent replacements to my dealer.

Please post the shorelander contact number/email address. I have a 2017 trailer that I got used so don’t have a dealer to work with, at least not one that sold me the trailer.

Thanks! I thought that may be the case. That said, I'm still missing something. Not seeing what these bolt into. It also didn't come with any new bolts (no drama, but all the others were included).

Here's pics of what mine look like on my 2014 that carries my 242 LS. Both sides the diamond plate is cracking and support bracket is cracked. I emailed them too.

 

[Ronnie]

I just sent Shorelander an email as well with these pics.

Shorelandr just communicated with my dealer and said fenders are being built and will ship in a few weeks. I thought maybe I would do myself....looks as simple as put a jack under where leafs bolt to frame and few jackstands under frame, pump up leafs a tiny to take weight off big bolt?

I heard the same thing. That is, forward the email to the dealer confirm that they got it and will order the fenders, wait to 2 to 5 weeks and the dealer will tell me when I can have them installed. I would rather take delivery directly and wrench them off and on myself but overall a great experience so far.

Hey bud, My 242LS trailer looks exactly the same... I remember someone posting a recall on them a while ago but couldn't find any info in Shorelander website.

Who did you contact? I'll run out and take some pix of mine as well if thats what they need.

Thanks

FYI....there phone system was screwed up and couldnt leave a message on his ext. So I emailed him and he always responded within a day.

 

[Ronnie]

FYI only - I was asked by Nick at shorelander to send in pics of the side of the trailer, the mounts under each fender, the ID sticker and bill of sale. I sent in a copy of the registration instead of a bill of sale.

My local power sports dealer called and told me the parts are in and that I need to bring the trailer in to have them installed or take possession before the end of the year or they would be returned to shorelander, I chose the latter.
