SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY

Issued by Snake River Trailer Company · Reported Feb 1, 2016 · 17 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Snake River Trailer Company (Snake) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Horse Trailers manufactured October 27, 2014, to January 29, 2015, equipped with 3500lb-capacity torsion model axles, part numbers B-7100A, B-7110A, HT-35XL, T35545EB, T35545I, T35550EB, T35550HB, T35550I, T35655EB and T35655I, manufactured by Henderson Wheel. The weld that secures the torsion arm assembly may fail allowing the tire, wheel, hub, and torsion arm to separate from the trailer.

Consequence

A separation of the torsion arm can result in a reduction in vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Snake River will notify owners, and the axle manufacturer will supply a replacement axle free of charge and cover the labor costs needed to replace it. The recall began on February 26, 2016. Owners may contact Snake River customer service at 1-208-455-2768.
