- Remedy
- 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. The recall began on February 26, 2016. Owners may contact Snake River customer service at 1-208-455-2768.

What this recall means for you
Certain 2015-2016 Snake River horse trailers, built between October 27, 2014 and January 29, 2015, have torsion-model axles made by Henderson Wheel in which the weld securing the torsion arm assembly may fail. If that happens, the tire, wheel, hub and torsion arm can separate from the trailer.
A separation can reduce trailer stability and increase the risk of a crash. Owners should stop towing a trailer they believe may be affected until it has been checked.
Snake River will notify owners, and the axle manufacturer will supply a replacement axle free of charge, including the labor to install it. Contact Snake River customer service at 1-208-455-2768, and check your VIN for open recalls.
