Recall 10V140 affects 704 2007-2009 Mirage snowmobile trailers for cracking axle brackets. Repair is free at any franchised Mirage dealer.

Mirage is recalling 704 2007-2009 Xtreme snowmobile trailers, including the MXSN8.532TRA2, because the steel bracket that holds the axle bracket and axle to the mainframe rail can crack and fail. If the axle separates from the trailer, the driver can lose control, with risk of property damage, injury, or death; the Mirage dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The axle bracket on 2007-2009 Mirage Xtreme snowmobile trailers is part of the hardware that ties the axle assembly to the trailer frame. The axle carries the wheels and keeps them aligned under the load of the trailer and snowmobile. A steel bracket bolts the axle bracket and axle to the mainframe rail, so that connection has to stay solid while the trailer flexes over the road.

On affected Mirage trailers, that steel mounting bracket can crack. Once a crack forms, the bracket no longer holds the axle assembly to the mainframe rail with its intended strength. Continued use adds load to the cracked area until the bracket fails, which leaves the axle attachment compromised.

There is no warning sign before failure. Inspect the axle mounting area for cracks if the trailer is in use, but the filing does not identify a noise, light, or handling change that reliably comes first.

Who's affected?

Multiple MXSN8 trailer models from the 2007, 2008, and 2009 model years share the same drive axle component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

If the axle separates from the trailer, the driver can lose control, causing property damage, personal injury, or death. Treat this as a serious towing safety issue and schedule the recall repair before hauling with the trailer again. Repair will be free at any franchised Mirage dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2007-2009 Mirage Xtreme snowmobile trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Contact Mirage customer service at 1-866-461-7776 to confirm the free axle-bracket weld repair path before moving the trailer.
  3. Ask Mirage where to take the trailer for the weld repair that secures the axle bracket to the frame.
  4. Reference recall number 10V140 when you call or when you arrange service.
  5. Avoid towing the trailer until Mirage confirms the repair plan, because the axle bracket can crack and let the axle separate from the trailer.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Mirage technician welds each axle bracket directly to the trailer frame. That repair secures the axle to the frame without relying only on the bracket flange and bolts, the parts tied to the cracking and failure described in recall 10V140. The filing says the safety recall began on April 21, 2010, and this service is performed free of charge. No separate reimbursement program is stated in the source record.
