Mirage recall: Power train
What is wrong
Mirage enterprises has notified NHTSA of a defect in certain model year 2007-2009 xtreme snowmobile trailers. The steel bracket that is used to bolt the axle bracket and the axle to the mainframe rail of the trailer can crack and fail.
What could happen
The axle can separate from the trailer. This could result in loss of control, property damage, personal injury or death.
The fix
Dealers will weld each axle bracket directly to the trailer frame to secure the axle to the frame and not rely on the bracket flange and bolts for attachment to the trailer frame. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on april 21, 2010. Owners may contact mirage at 1-866-461-7776.
