Snake River Trailer Company: Suspension › Rear › Axle › Non-powered Axle Assembly
Snake River Trailer Company reported this defect to federal regulators on Oct 2, 2015 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 34. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Snake River Trailer Company (Snake River) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Horse trailers manufactured February 25, 2015, to September 15, 2015, and equipped with 3500lb-capacity torsion model axles. The weld that secures the torsion arm assembly may fail allowing the tire, wheel, hub, and torsion arm to separate from the trailer.
The risk
A separation of the torsion arm can result in a reduction in vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Snake River will notify owners, and the axle manufacture will supply a replacement axle free of charge and cover the labor costs needed to replace it. The recall began on November 20, 2015. Owners may contact Snake River customer service at 1-208-459-8344.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 15V622000.
