Snake River Recalls 2015-2016 Horse Trailers Due to Axle Weld Failure
Snake River Trailer Company is recalling 2015-2016 Horse trailers because a weld on the rear axle may fail, causing the wheel assembly to separate and increasing crash risk.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. 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 weld failure) that can lead to wheel separation and loss of vehicle stability, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Snake River Trailer Company is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Horse trailers manufactured between February 25, 2015, and September 15, 2015. These specific trailers are equipped with 3500lb-capacity torsion model axles.
The recall is due to a defect in the weld that secures the torsion arm assembly. This weld may fail, allowing the tire, wheel, hub, and torsion arm to separate from the trailer. Such a separation can result in a reduction in vehicle stability, which increases the risk of a crash.
Snake River will notify owners, and the axle manufacturer will supply a replacement axle free of charge and cover the labor costs needed for the replacement. The recall began on November 20, 2015. Owners may contact Snake River customer service at 1-208-459-8344 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
