The problem
Snake River Trailer Company (Snake River) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Horse trailers manufactured February 25, 2015, to September 15, 2015, and equipped with 3500lb-capacity torsion model axles. The weld that secures the torsion arm assembly may fail allowing the tire, wheel, hub, and torsion arm to separate from the trailer.
The risk
A separation of the torsion arm can result in a reduction in vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Snake River will notify owners, and the axle manufacture will supply a replacement axle free of charge and cover the labor costs needed to replace it. The recall began on November 20, 2015. Owners may contact Snake River customer service at 1-208-459-8344.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
