A duck boat involved in a deadly Seattle traffic crash did not have an axle repair that was recommended for the amphibious vehicle in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said Sunday.

NTSB member Earl Weener said investigators only recently learned that Ride the Ducks International issued the warning about potential axle failure and recommended a specific repair two years ago. But he said the boat involved in Seattle crash didn't have the fix.
