2018 Towblazer Heritage recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
TowBlazer, Inc. (TowBlazer) is recalling certain 2018 TowBlazer Heritage motorcycle tow-behind trailers. The axle spindles on these trailers may have a poor weld, possibly resulting in the spindle breaking and the wheel detaching.
💥 The risk
If the wheel falls off, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
TowBlazer has notified owners, and dealers will correct the weld, or replace the chassis with a correctly welded spindle, free of charge. The recall began on July 10, 2018. Owners may contact TowBlazer customer service at 1-864-501-4559.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
