Defect SummaryEquipment description: 1997-2001 tilt style 10' and 12' snowmobile trailers with torsion axles manufactured between june 1997 and december 2000. due to corrosion from road salts and snow removal chemicals, the frame rail tubing around the u-bolts and edges of the torsion axle mounting plate can crack and fracture when subjected to the full rated load.
Consequence SummaryIf the tubing has a complete fracture failure, the trailer tire will contact the deck of the trailer and result in difficult to severe handling of both the trailer and the tow vehicle, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Corrective SummaryLoad rite will notify its distributors and customers to return their trailers to authorized distributors/dealership to have a frame stiffener kit installed free of charge. owner notification began july 23, 2001. owners who take their trailers to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact load rite at 866-949-5845.
