What's wrong?
The axle on the 2021 Sea-Doo Move I Extended 1500 trailer is the crossmember that supports the trailer wheels while the trailer is being towed. Each wheel spindle is welded to the axle flange, and that spindle holds the wheel in position so it can rotate straight and carry load.
On affected trailers, the spindle was not welded to the axle flange correctly. The issue traces to an incorrect welding machine adjustment on certain axle batches from the supplier. Under towing load, the weld can break. The spindle then slides out of the flange, and the wheel can separate from the trailer.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem showed up during an early tow or while backing up, so an owner should not rely on noise, vibration, or visible damage to know the axle weld has failed.
