What's wrong?
The rear torsion axle on a 2015-2016 C&B Quality Trailer Works Horse Trailer supports the trailer and lets each wheel move over bumps without a powered drive axle. Its torsion arm is welded to the axle beam, and that welded joint holds the tire, wheel, hub, and arm in position while the trailer rolls.
On affected trailers equipped with 3500-pound torsion axles from Henderson Wheel & Supply, the weld did not penetrate the steel correctly. That weak joint can fail at the torsion arm and axle beam. If it fails, the tire, wheel, hub, and torsion arm separate from the trailer instead of staying attached to the suspension.
Owners are told to look at the torsion arm welds and the wheel position. A crooked-looking tire, or a tire tilted beyond straight, is the warning sign to take seriously.

What's the safety risk?

- Contact C&B Quality Trailer Works to schedule the free replacement axle service that fixes the torsion-arm weld failure.
- Bring the recall notice if C&B Quality Trailer Works mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V619 when you call.
