What this recall means for you
Certain utility trailers built between August 2014 and August 2015 may have a torsion arm that was manufactured too small for its housing. Over time, the torsion arm, spindle, and tire and wheel assemblies can detach from the trailer.
If this happens, the trailer can lose stability, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should stop using a trailer they suspect is affected until the repair is completed.
The replacement torsion axle is free. Jumping Jack will notify owners and provide the part, and you can install it yourself or ask Jumping Jack to help you find a repair shop. You can contact Jumping Jack customer service at 1-801-520-5310 and check your VIN for open recalls.
