What happened

Trails West Manufacturing of Idaho is recalling certain 2015-2016 trailers including Santa Fe, Classic, Sierra, Royale, and Hot Shot models manufactured between February 18, 2015, and August 25, 2015, that are equipped with 3500-pound-capacity torsion axles. A defective weld in the torsion arm assembly can fail, potentially causing the tire, wheel, hub, and torsion arm to separate from the trailer.

If the torsion arm separates, the trailer could lose stability and increase the risk of a crash. Trails West will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will replace any suspect axles at no charge. Owners of potentially affected trailers should contact Trails West customer service at 1-208-852-2200.
