Defect summary

Henderson Wheel & Trailer Supply Inc. (Henderson Wheel) is recalling certain torsion arm assemblies, part numbers B-7100A, B-7110A, HT-35XL, T35545EB, T35545I, T35550EB, T35550HB, T35550I, T35655EB and T35655I, manufactured February 18, 2015 to August 25, 2015. The torsion arm of the assembly was made too small for its housing, and as a result, the torsion arm, spindle, and tire and wheel assemblies may detach 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

Henderson Wheel will notify the trailer manufacturers that used the affected axles in their trailer production. Those companies will notify their customers and will reinforce or replace the torsion arm assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2014. Owners may contact Henderson Wheel customer service at 1-801-486-4916.
