What is wrong
CERTAIN TOURING TRAILERS WERE BUILT WITH TRAILING ARM SPINDLES (A PART OF THE TRAILER FRAME DESIGNED AND INTENDED TO BE TOWED BEHIND MOTORCYCLES) THAT MAY FATIGUE AND FAIL OVER TIME. THE SPINDLE MAY FRACTURE CAUSING THE ROAD WHEEL TO NO LONGER TRACK PROPERLY.
What can happen
TRAILER (AND MOTORCYCLE) DIRECTIONAL STABILITY WOULD THEN BE COMPROMISED AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW FRAME FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHAMPION AT 800-875-0949.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
