Recall 16V613000
Suspension › Rear › Axle › Non-powered Axle Assembly — Jumping Jack · reported 23 Aug 2016 · 300 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Jumping Jack, Inc. (Jumping Jack) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 utility trailers, in sizes Standard 6'x8' and Mid 6'x12', manufactured August 15, 2014, to August 31, 2015. The torsion arm of the axle 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.
The risk
A separation of the torsion arm can result in a reduction in vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Jumping Jack will notify owners and provide a free replacement torsion axle. Owners can either preform the repair themselves or, if needed, Jumping Jack will assist owners to find a repair shop. Repairs will be made free of charge. The recall began on October 17, 2016. Owners may contact Jumping Jack customer service at 1-801-520-5310.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
