The problem
TowBlazer, Inc. (TowBlazer) is recalling certain 2018 TowBlazer Heritage motorcycle tow-behind trailers. The axle spindles on these trailers may have a poor weld, possibly resulting in the spindle breaking and the wheel detaching.
The risk
If the wheel falls off, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
TowBlazer has notified owners, and dealers will correct the weld, or replace the chassis with a correctly welded spindle, free of charge. The recall began on July 10, 2018. Owners may contact TowBlazer customer service at 1-864-501-4559.
