What this recall means for you
Certain horse trailers from model years 2015 and 2016 may have a weld securing the torsion arm assembly on the rear axle that can fail. If this happens, the tire, wheel, hub, and torsion arm can separate from the trailer.
A separation can reduce the trailer's stability and increase the risk of a crash. Owners should stop using an affected trailer for hauling until the axle has been checked or replaced.
The repair is free. C & B will notify owners, and the axle manufacturer will supply a replacement axle at no charge, including labor to install it. Owners can contact C & B customer service at 1-208-455-2768, and can check their VIN for any open recalls.
