Mirage Snowmobile Trailer Axle Bracket Recall for 2007-2009 Models

Mirage Enterprises is recalling 2007-2009 snowmobile trailers because a steel bracket can crack, causing the axle to separate and potentially leading to loss of control.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (axle separation) that the source text explicitly states could result in personal injury or death, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Mirage Enterprises, Inc. has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of a defect in certain model year 2007-2009 Xtreme snowmobile trailers. The steel bracket used to bolt the axle bracket and the axle to the mainframe rail of the trailer can crack and fail. This defect affects 704 units across various model codes, including the MXSN8.532TRA2, MXSN8.536TRA2, and MXSN8.534TRA3.

If the bracket fails, the axle can separate from the trailer. This could result in a loss of control, property damage, personal injury, or death. The safety recall began on April 21, 2010.

Dealers will weld each axle bracket directly to the trailer frame to secure the axle and prevent reliance on the bracket flange and bolts for attachment. This service will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Mirage at 1-866-461-7776 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
