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 loss of vehicle stability and increased crash risk, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary

C & B Quality Trailer Works, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Horse Trailers manufactured between October 6, 2014, and June 29, 2015. The recall affects trailers equipped with 3500lb-capacity torsion model axles manufactured by Henderson Wheel, specifically part numbers B-7100A, B-7110A, HT-35XL, T35545EB, T35545I, T35550EB, T35550HB, T35550I, T35655EB, and T35655I.

The defect involves a weld that secures the torsion arm assembly, which may fail. If this weld fails, the tire, wheel, hub, and torsion arm can separate from the trailer. This separation can result in a reduction in vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall began on February 26, 2016. C & B will notify owners, and the axle manufacturer will supply a replacement axle free of charge and cover the labor costs needed to replace it. Owners may contact C & B customer service at 1-208-455-2768 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
