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 component separation and increased crash risk, 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 October 27, 2014, and January 29, 2015. These vehicles are 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 recall is due to a defect where the weld securing the torsion arm assembly may fail. This failure allows the tire, wheel, hub, and torsion arm to separate from the trailer. A separation of the torsion arm can result in a reduction in vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall began on February 26, 2016. 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. Owners may contact Snake River customer service at 1-208-455-2768 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
