Wheels: lugs/nuts/bolts/studs
- What is wrong
- 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.
- Risk
- If undetected, wheel studs can break allowing the wheel to fall off increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Stratos has gone out of business. The correction was to replace these wheels.

What 2000 Stratos Boat Trailer owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
3 lugs: bolts sheared off the right wheel of the trailer. Stratos was aware of the the problem. The federal safety agency bulletin 99v293000 stated notification notices where to go out march of 2000. I never received a notice. A serious safety problem could have been avoided if had been notified that the a problem existed and the wheel lug bolts can come loose. Why has the problem not been resolved and the defective wheels recalled? Does someone have to get killed first?
