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
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 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.
