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 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.
