The defect
Trails West Manufacturing of Idaho, Inc. (Trails West) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Santa Fe, Santa Fe II, Classic, Classic II, Sierra, Sierra II, Royale, Sierra Select, RPM BP, and Hot Shot trailers manufactured February 18, 2015, to August 25, 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.
