"Charmac" is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Horse and Cargo trailers manufactured March 16, 2015, to September 25, 2015, and equipped with certain 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. |

Consequence:
A separation of the torsion arm can result in a loss of trailer stability and control, increasing the risk of a crash. |

|
Remedy:
